On the other hand, you probably won't see acceptable streaming performance with [...] 1.5 Mbps DSL with multiple TVs.
good luck if someone in your home wants to do something else at the same time.
Exactly. But in a situation like this, you could try quality of service (QoS). When the connection is congested, set your router to give each device a 1.5 Mbps slice of the downstream. With current congestion control policies that U.S. cellular ISPs are implementing, such as T-Mobile's Binge On, streaming providers will recognize this and not try to send any HD video. If your router does not support QoS, replace its firmware with a third-party firmware that does, or purchase a router that supports third-party firmware.
Single digit megabits per second is all you need for standard-definition video streaming
SD tv, which no one today would find acceptable on screens larger than 30".
You just went totally obtuse and ignored the very first fucking sentence they stated.
I took Gr8Apes's comment to mean "There is no longer significant demand for standard-definition video streaming. On the displays common in 2018, it's high definition or no sale."
StarLink will mean they can get all the streaming they want.
Until SpaceX launches Starlink service, it's vapor. Another Elon Musk venture recently canceled a planned tunnel dig after discovering that the locals demanded a work-to-rule on the environmental impact assessment.
Just think of all the channels they have coming off those birds, I would not be surprised if there is currently a few gigabits per second of raw data falling onto each ATT/DTV dish. Of course your satellite box does not handle that whole fire hose of data at once, only handling the data in the chunk of spectrum that it is tuned to
I don't see how it'll scale, as satellite TV has far more viewers per channel than satellite Internet. Spread all those Gbps over the whole countryside, and how many kbps will each subscriber end up with?
Single digit megabits per second is all you need for standard-definition video streaming, so long as the monthly cap isn't also oppressive. A decade and a half ago, the warez scene was using DivX (MPEG-4 Part 2 + MP3 in AVI) to transcode a 97-minute movie to fill one 700 MB CD at an average rate of 1 Mbps. Nowadays, WebM (VP9 + Opus in MKV) achieves comparable picture quality at an even lower rate.
On the other hand, you probably won't see acceptable streaming performance with 768 kbps DSL, or 1.5 Mbps DSL with multiple TVs.
Subscribers to cassette rental would still need an information service in order to request cassettes from a distributor. (Source: DVD.Netflix.com) In addition, several types of live events would not be as appealing in a cassette model, such as sport matches, political announcements, and entertainment industry awards shows.
Rural users tend to have satellite TV in part because no cable or fiber-to-the-home provider serves their address. Streaming video over satellite Internet at $5 per GB is unlikely to prove economic as a substitute.
One major difference is that Twitter can ban a user from its platform, but because email is a protocol as opposed to being a single point of failure, email can't ban a user.
How is the number of subscribers one has on YouTube even a thing that people care about?
You need at least a minimum number of subscribers to be eligible to put ads on your videos. The more subscribers, in theory, the more ad revenue you can earn.
As far as the UN goes, it was predominantly over the fact [Americans] were paying 25% of the entire UN budget, and was re-negotiated down to "just" 22%.
What fraction of the gross world product is the USA's gross domestic product?
Try repeatedly dropping f-bombs on people face to face at a workplace, and see how long you last.
It depends on whether a recording studio is a "workplace". Eminem dropped four F-bombs in four lines in his rap song "White America", and the album it was on (The Eminem Show) went 10x Platinum.
But I can rap so fyayk school, I'm too cool to go back Gimme the mic, show me where the fyaykin' studios at When I was underground, no one gave a fyayk I was white No labels wanted to sign me, I almost gave up, I was like "Fyayk it"
Context for those following along: You are recommending developing and selling homebrew games for Nintendo 3DS as an alternative to developing for Apple iOS or PlayStation Vita.
You can even easily buy individual blank [Nintendo 3DS-compatible Game Cards] at retail and put your own game on them. Two popular brands are Gateway 3DS and Sky3DS.
I thought Nintendo was having the US International Trade Commission block imports of these adapters and/or issuing Nintendo 3DS system software updates that cause the system not to recognize them.
Where can one get cellular hotspot service for $0 in the U.S. market? If the answer involves already having cellular service for some unrelated reason, that answer is weak for cellular subscribers such as myself whose plans lack data, lack unmetered data, or lack hotspot/tether data.
He's a CS grad without any experience at all? WTF was he doing during summers and in HS?
Taking summer classes and coding.
I suggest he go to Github
He has an account on GitHub. What steps could I take to help him find 1. gaps in his skill set that he needs to address, and 2. a job using his skill set so that he can build up finances with which to relocate?
There is no reason to desire limited options as a customer.
Then explain the ALDI grocery chain, which saves customers money by limiting options. Most products sold in an ALDI store are Millville or another ALDI-owned brand.
Then let's find the right website. My cousin recently graduated from university and is seeking a first job, but most job postings in his combination of field (computer science) and location (Fort Wayne, Indiana) require a degree plus two years of related experience. He told me that he doubts that, say, working at a Wendy's restaurant for two years would qualify as "related" enough. What website should he be looking at? Or should he instead be asking the HR department of each company seeking experienced workers where other successful candidates have earned their two years of related experience?
There's no fee per use, but there's often a fee per month to maintain the account, a fee to make deposits other than at an ATM even if the ATM returned an error message, a requirement of having a permanent address (which incurs a substantial fee payable to a landlord), etc.

I think at this point you have to provide some pretty solid evidence they are NOT going to launch Starlink because it's obviously going ahead.
There was solid evidence that Elon Musk's other company was going to dig a tunnel beneath the 405 freeway, but that tunnel was sued out of existence.
This is why I wish low-bandwidth protocols came back for simple information sharing services. Gopher NEXT when?
Send HTML over HTTPS with no images or script, and you'll have a fairly close approximation.
StarLink will mean they can get all the streaming they want.

She "needs" the Today show and an antenna just isn't getting that for me right now.
Today is on free-to-air NBC. Have you reported reception problems to your local NBC affiliate?
With me working from the house, the GF watching Amazon and her kid streaming music the net connection is choppy and unreliable.
If you cut the Amazon Video back to standard definition and the music back to a more lossy codec, does it still stutter?

Wanna live out in the sticks, you gotta pay to live out in the sticks.
Wanna live in the city, you run the risk of HOAs and zoning boards fining you or threatening jail time for your victory garden. This has happened in Oak Park, Tulsa, Miami Shores, and elsewhere.

TFA is paywalled. Here is an alternative article [bloomberg.com].
Bloomberg also has a (metered) paywall, and I believe Slashdot has linked to enough stories from Bloomberg in the past 30 days to exceed the limit.

Not if the merchant can avoid creating "debts" in the first place.
