once the cable companies got rid of analogue cable it freed up a lot of bandwidth for internet and HD video and lessened the need for fiber to the home
the railroads were built by cheap government backed loans and the protection of the US Army. lots of other infrastructure was built by the government or with heavy government support. very few are dumb enough to risk their own money on risky business adventures
i remember the good old days 20 years ago when a trace route across state lines resulted in a few dozen hops and a dozen or so different network providers with each one adding latency
streaming video was impossible on the old internet before the ISP's and backbone networks began to merge
it's not the revenue, but the profit. accessories have always been huge profit drivers. they might only be a few percent of total profits but for earnings it will be a few cents a share and the difference between a plunging stock or a soaring stock price
here in NYC data from AirBnb showed that most of the apartments for rent for always available for rent because the owners were making more money on it then renting them out as housing. in a lot of cases it was affordable housing with special tax breaks being used as a money maker
i remember the days of Ma Bell and telephone service used to be expensive. like you rent a cheap phone for a lot of money expensive and pay per minute for local calls and long distance is calling 5 miles away to the next switch or area code. and if you wanted to call across the country to some family member it would be a once a year 10 minute call because it cost a day's wages
you people are whining because you can't get fiber at a cheap price
last time i needed a lightning cable i just went to best buy and bought their house brand cable for like $15. a lot better than original apple cable too.
except the new monthly plans cost just as much as AT&T and verizon and t-mobile has said they are going to do away with the current plans in the next year or two
i see some movies in the theater for weeks. with digital projection it's a lot easier to squeeze older movie showings in than dedicating a theater with the old film projector
you still have lots of bills to pay like rent, salaries, taxes and dozens of others which is why the concessions make money and tickets are a money loser.
that's because there will always be idiots who will do business with sketchy companies that promise big money and no one had ever heard of that company before

i'm sure the gubmint will magically give you the unlimited data you're dreaming about
maybe you should think about doing something else other than watch TV all day everywhere you go?

this is like TOS
first inter-racial kiss
one of the first shows on TV with minorities and white people working together in top jobs and not just as janitors
a lot of the episodes were based on themes of diversity and how it's stupid to not like people because of skin color

i don't use that much data so i don't really care about your right to watch youtube or netflix 24 hours a day everywhere you go
go back 20 years and all the big phone hits are thin phones with crappy batteries. StarTac, Motorola Razr.
in the past it was all the cheap batteries people bought on the internet that used to result in fires and explosions
at&t they will send an APN file to your phone. ting is your problem
yes, because if there is no pay up front discount then you are stupid for paying upfront and not stretching the payments out over 24-30 months
i see some movies in the theater for weeks. with digital projection it's a lot easier to squeeze older movie showings in than dedicating a theater with the old film projector
