we're not even close to capacity. we don't even use the radio spectrum at 1%.
drop the radio cell radius by half, and you boost capacity by 400%.
use directional trancievers and you can give every device in range the full radio spectrum.
using currently available technology, we can easily give every cellphone gigabit ethernet.
of course, that would cost money. it's much cheaper to complain and have paid for congress critters
hand you a massive profit by legally limiting competition.
or you could just use all that old analog tv spectrum, that's still in use when it shouldn't be.
When a person is in a coma, they have someone with power of attorney run their life, and that person is legally required to take
care of their interests.
I propose that corporations are the same. I suggest that the board of directors stands in the same place, as the legal guardian of the company.
And as such, they are legally responsible for the behavior and actions of the company.
And yes, that should include jail time for crimes.
This brings up the issue of citizenship.
If I want to work in the usa, i need a green card or to get citizenship. But if Microsoft wants that, it's open for business.
But if a corporation is mostly foreign then isn't it a foreigner? Wouldn't it need permission to work?
Could not the government demand residency requirements (most of your workers must be in this country)?
I think you are thinking about this backwards.
If a corporation is legally a person in all ways, then you can put them in jail.
Your corporate factory in the third world kills workers with unsafe stuff? The board of directors goes to jail.
The short term effect of "person" may be the result of big business greed, but it will give us a very direct form of justice in the end.
I think we need to push this whole company as a person thing all the way.
your laptop contains copywrite material, that you probably don't own. under us law you need the copywrite owner's permission to copy this. the border agent is violating copywrite law when he/she images your drive. if you have a login then that counts as a copywrite protection device, and that means a dmca violation as well. i'm surprised nobody has taken this to court yet.
