It’s sad that it is even necessary in the US. Telcos were given massive amounts of money by the government with promises they would do this and then they simply didn’t and said cell phone service was good enough. I would posit that a populace educated on cell phone internet is largely responsible for the rise in intense anti-science stupidity and lack of fact checking we are experiencing. People on phones are too easy to manipulate and sway, the ad giants have mastered it.

Isn't it fantastic? The system of (mostly) free enterprise has created an affordable high speed service product that can be accessed anywhere on the planet.
