Soon, the entire world will be fiber end-to-end. Any RF usage will be minimal. We’re almost there now.

The history of communications show that sooner or later, whatever regulatory agency is involved will try and regulate speech/content. Such is the nature of man and government

Pope Leo X tried to stop publication of Martin Luther’s 95 Theses.

“Copyright” was originally an attempt to regulate who could own and operate a printing press.

What do you think this latest push regarding “fake news” is?

Free Speech has ALWAYS had to fight to remain free.

You tell me when they run a fiber directly into your home. And will you have a mega reel of fiber connected to your cell phone and that cell tower, You don't know what you're talking about.

Totally wrong. Fiber will be the backbone but millions of new endpoint will all be wireless. Don’t doubt me.

Actually, 79% of adult Americans listen to terrestrial radio. Still an important medium!
