Just because you make it illegal doesn't mean people pay attention.
U.S.C. TITLE 18, CHAPTER 2 Sec. 39A. Aiming a laser pointer at an aircraft (a) OFFENSE -- Whoever knowingly aims the beam of a laser pointer at an aircraft in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States, or at the flight path of such an aircraft, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.
I apologize--my information was out of date--after further research, I found that one of the contracts was changed back in April; a new 5-year term was negotiated with Dobson.
As of 2013 Sallisaw had a population of 8,623. I don't know of any other towns as small as ours running fiber, and all plans are unmetered.
Back in 2005 their equipment limited them to "500MB to any individual subscriber," but they don't offer anything over 50mbps today; so they are still quite a way off from the limits of 10-year-old equipment.
The second contract is with Newroads Telecom. This one has also been changed, but I can't seem to find when. It was 250MB with a 3-year contract; but as shown in the above meeting agenda, as of March 9, 2015, they were paying $5,250 for 350MB through Newroads.
Back when verizon wireless had most of their towers upgraded to lte i thought they might have more bandwidth to go around and lower prices nooo they kept exactly the same caps and prices for years.
Its just now started to come down a bit. their lowest priced data plan afaik is the 30GB for $120 for their lte internet home plans which compares poorly now that hughesnet is offering 50GB/mo for $90.
They are not keeping up well imho.
Excede sattilite internet bumped their speed up to 12mbps from 1.5mbps and kept the caps the same size they do charge more for it however.
Why couldn't we have just had 6mbps with twice the cap? I would use the full 30GBmo with just 1.5mbps what good is 12mbps going to do me?
Now if we could just convince the mpaa and the like that preventing people from saving videos so they play without stuttering or to avoid caps actually encurages piracy we could get something that works (other than piracy).
Back when the interview came out I bought it on youtube/google play come to find out no streaming device I owned (wii, ipad2, ipad4 and 4 bluray players) would allow me to watch it on my tv so I gave up and got it off of 4shared that worked fine on my bluray player even though the youtube app wouldn't play it even while logged in I still paid for it I just wasn't able to watch the particular copy I paid for
Why do they insist on making it so difficult to do the right thing?
I mean I don't mind paying for it but when I do I expect it to frigging work!
Tell me about it the security alarms company i use recently redesigned their website before it had a pricelist for anything you might want done now it says:
"Our pricing varies depending on what your individual needs are and everyone has different needs. You can email or call us any time for prices."
Like the websites that want me to call for a quote when i'm trying to determine if something is a $5 or $5000 item.
How much does a tactical folding ladder cost? I still don't know
Thank you for that i always thought my nick would get lots of comments on it but thats only the second time anyone has ever mentioned it and ive been using it online since 2002. I really miss playing that game.
And replying to the one above no I dont live in korea but you can't buy anything even close to those up to speed in any type of wireless gear right now that i'm aware of in any country
I hunted down the meeting agenda for the isp in town they are paying about $7,000/mo for a 500mbps (dual 250mbps feeds) connection if i'm reading it correctly keep in mind thats shared among somewhere over 1,500 subscribers with a minimum connection of 10mbps afaik thats only enough for 100 people to run 1080p netflix assuming 5mbps for each.
It looks like there was some discussion to buy even more last month but i haven't been able to find how much or at what cost yet!
I mean if i buy a song on itunes it automatically syncs with my iphone and ipad all of a sudden i have 3 copies of the same song are they trying to say thats illegal?
what am i supposed to do with a cd? I haven't even seen a player in a couple years of friggin course i'm going to rip it into itunes and throw the coaster away.
Yeah! I like not being able to buy a 150 watt floodlight to put outside my garage or anything of similar brightness at walmart Thank you Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007!
anyone else have one of those cars that lets people steal items from your car while your in the store because the doors don't lock while your in range?
I mostly agree with you with small exception if current trends are any indication they will come out with plans offering around 30GB of data for around $80/mo some time around 2020+ which will give you just enough time to watch about 4-1/2 hours of 4k video on netflix cellular has speed but either does not have capacity or they don't want to sell it for a reasonable rate
i have a 12mbps dsl line at work with unlimited usage from att its $40/mo i can get 50/mbps for $157 through the city also unlimited
at home i can use verizon wireless at $120/mo for 30GB of data through their lte internet plans
I probably am not going to be watching 4k video on netflix at work but i sure couldn't afford to watch in 480p at those rates at home if they want to lure people into that kind of capacity sham there going to have to bring back the unlimited plans and i am not talking about the 5GB/mo unlimited plans
so we are supposed to buy more stuff that's more complex that doesn't work instead of stuff that actually works and has been tested all so we can keep a bunch of people in india employed?
just so when we call and say my car won't start and instead of a error code it has a picture of a cat looking at you in sunglasses they can tell you i am being so verry sorry sir but we are not having that code in our system you will have to call the dodge support line who will then redirect you to back to the indian call center and then this continues until you give up
no real support
no help
no repair
couldn't we pay them to do something useful how about we build a road from one side of the pacific to the other just right through the middle we would get much more benefit from that the satisfaction of knowing our great great grandchildren will see it and wonder wth we built it and never be able to come up with any plausible reason
while i'm at it do we really need to keep making the tax code more complex just to keep the people at h&r block employed? pretty much no american now is certain that they have their taxes correct i'm not saying tax less but i am saying it should be simple enough that after consulting with h&r block and 3 tax lawyers you should be able to be reasonably sure you have your taxes right
the only thing that drinks the water in our house is the house plants and i don't think fluoride benefits them does it help my hair when showering or something?
just fyi hughesnet is now offering 50GB usage limits 15/2 speeds for $79.99 nationwide excede is now offering 150GB limits in small limited areas for $69.99 12/3 speeds
that works out to be roughly $1.60/GB for huges and $0.47/GB for excede
vzw's highest lte plan listed on their site is $120/mo for 30/GB which works out to $4.00/GB
the pricing used to be equal but i assume they noticed a lot of people were jumping ship for lower latency at the same price so they have better plans now i am surprised to see that the are actually having to compete a bit nice to see after 10 years they are finally starting to offer better plans i might actually have been able to stay under 150GB 5 years ago but now with netflix youtube and 4 people? yeah.. not going to happen up to 73/GB this month bill doesn't reset until the 14th and one of the 4 has been gone for a week this month

Why don't they already? We already have statutes of limitations on most crimes why should gag orders be any different?
Its been done already.

The current backhaul amounts to 1,350GB
at a cost of $13,030/mo.
It was also announced on their website, apparently.
http://www.diamondnetok.com/Ci...
I have included links to the meeting agendas, which include the contracts.
The first contract is with Dobson Technologies.
It is a 5-year contract for 1000MB for $5,250.

pretty cool the info is public tho!
How do you save netflix movies/shows to your device?
Bwahahahaaha no freaking way they get this figured out in 5 years. my entire town only has about 2gbps of backhaul to it
the fiber isp here offering 50/50mbps service only has a 500mbps link to the net
sorry ive got to ask who runs Sequoiam it doesn't show up on google or ddg any more info? i see it uses piwik for analytics
Don't forget their short url ddg.gg its as easy to type as google.com or bing.com
I mean if i buy a song on itunes it automatically syncs with my iphone and ipad all of a sudden i have 3 copies of the same song are they trying to say thats illegal?
