Yesterday’s idiocy is today’s idiocy. Just because clowns want to believe it doesn’t make it true.
While there is sunk cost there is also continuing costs. Antennae need to be maintained, the towers they’re on need to be maintained, often times that land is rented which must continue to be paid, they burn electricity. Not to mention they replace the antennae and make them much more useful 5G towers.
My phone was old and crusty and crashing. I upgraded. Went 5G. No biggy. I don’t give a damn if you upgrade or not. I’m pointing out that somebody saying they’re ending 3G to EOL phones you can easily disconnect from the battery so they can track is saying paranoid nonsense.
I make no money from wireless. In fact, my money comes from one of the oldest wired forms of communication in the world. But I’m a big fan of logic and thinking. Which the 3G EOL conspiracy violates both.
There ain’t no conspiracy theories anymore. There’s just ain’t been revealed/realized.
And yet, its near impossible to pull the battery from the newer phones without breaking them first or being a repair tech.
Just sayin'...
