#1 How hard is it to lay fibre in no mans land.. Answer: Easy but it would completely ruin the Juggernaut that is the US telcos.. or so AT&T thinks
I think nowadays it would be easier to saturate the market with bandwidth to the point where it’s not worth the second tier entering the game..
If not now.. soon
The commercials, and the commercial disguised as tech commentary is annoying. Nice little podcast, until about 2 weeks ago when the tequila showed up.
Now, instead of wanting to hear tech stories i hear commercials, might as well turn on the tv.

I guess I need to be smarter because your insult doesn’t make any sense to me.
Would you like to dumb it down for me? Or would you rather listen to commercials with all of your intellectual greatness?
This google and verizon thing is very suspicious. Isn’t verizon sueing the fcc over the rules google proposed for the 700mhz spectrum, a few of which the fcc accepted? It would make sense if google actually planned to buy that spectrum and then have their own phone for it, but this team up with verizon just seems fishy. It would be ashame if verizon ended up with the 700mhz space and google just a phone on their network. That is unless maybe google plans on buying it and is just testing phone designs on the verizon network, or maybe it’s a backup plan incase verizon outbids them.
Any thoughts?
#4 – Do you expect everyone to do stuff for nothing? Get a brain.
(I think that’s what Pedro meant.)
#8 No problem with the commercial before or after the show. It is the plugs in the show that are just way out of place.
