Boston startup, wants deliver high-speed 5G internet in major cities at a reasonable price. Today, it announced it is expanding service from its initial launch in Boston to New York City. The company also announced a deal with Related Companies, a large national affordable housing owner, to host Starry equipment on its buildings and offer Starry service to its tenants.
The Starry solution consists of three parts: The beam sits on a high roof. The point sits on a lower roof and the consumer gets a Starry Station, which acts as a modem of sorts to deliver the internet service to the home. As they put it, internet access becomes an extension of the property.
While the hardware solution is impressive in itself, it allows Starry to offer high-speed internet to consumers at a more affordable price point than traditional large providers. Company founder and CEO Chet Kanojia says his company can provide up to 200 Megabits per second service, up and down, for just $50 a month with no data caps or long-term contracts. Installation is free and the company includes 24/7 customer care at no additional cost.

TM = & #153
I own a few multi-meters myself. I get a kick out of how “my own” personal rating fluctuates depending on my surrounding environment.
Rural, in large log home I and my sons built with our own hands in heavy hardwood forest of over 1,000 acres - so for sure I don’t get the sunsets........but the other benefits are wonderful.
One huge negative: 1,000’ from our home, 300’ from my property line, through the woods, they put a 200’ cell tower on neighboring property - hidden, but we can see the tower lights in the winter when the trees have no leaves.
I’d like to blow it up, but that might cause legal problems - so I have to live with it......
Open to any suggestions about how to block the 5G radiation.......and BTW, I am an electrcial engineer - and I know of no ways.......
I live in suburban Detroit. On the upside I have a choice of three cable providers, nearby shopping, police and fire response time 2nd to none, etc. On the downside there is more traffic. I don’t see why I should pay more for my internet to subsidize someone out in the sticks.
I get the advantages of living out in the sticks, the wildlife, the quiet etc. Should those in the sticks be required to pay an additional tax, to provide more noise abatements in the suburbs?
I think not, if you want the advantages of civilization, live in a civilized place. If you want the advantages of a rural area, feel free to do so.
I feel no obligation to pay more for internet, to subsidize rural areas.
Which spectrum do you wish to block?
700 MHz? Faraday cage. It’ll penetrate a concrete floor or two.
Millimeter wave? Double pane windows and the logs will stop any cellular millimeter waves from getting into your house- especially at the distance you are from that tower.
Please understand that 5G uses a range of spectrum.
Totally get that. Was trained to provide total EFI screening for MRI facilities....
So, is a Farraday cage to cover 15 acres of land up to a height of 100’s feasible? Absurd........problem isn’t a technical one, but a practical one......
Since you are a double-E ...
Do a spectrum analysis on:
1. what spectra that tower is radiating
2. the shocking amount of RF your lights and appliances generate inside your home.
You can’t likely be RF free on 1000 acres, duh, but you can shield rooms and devices as you already know.
The questions become—
a. which spectra worry you
b. what are the sources
c. best solutions to shield humans and devices / best way to shield or eliminate emitters in your home and shop?
Thing is we ARE STILL paying for and subsidizing your noise abatement walls, Socialized cost sharing city “peak usage” electricity rates, Rapid transit, Etc. It is greatly lopsided, we have very little and most time no representation at all for the taxes we pay.
We don’t even have a vote that has a chance of making a difference, so the numbers in the city culture end up forcing that culture on us by popular vote and we have absolutely no power to defend from it.
Sorry, but we are the ones who are subsidizing with no return benefits or equal representation.
For the benefit of those needing to use a search engine to understand the term, here’s the correct spelling: Quonset. It’s also a trademarked name but I don’t know the HTML code to get the fancy TM subscript...
One of these with a trailer house parked inside of it...
Dig a few deep 40-50ft deep holes about 3-10 ft in diameter below it for earth based thermal cooling/heating for winter/summer.
Cover the top of the quancet(sp) with solar panels for power to run the pumps for the A/C etc..
Paint the inside of the steel building with a blue and white for clouds "fake sky" dapple it with invisible UV specs for the night black-light to have a fake "night sky".
put some fake grass between the trailer house and the walls of the house or plant real grass and use grow lights and have a perfect weed free lawn ( no weed seeds would ever get into the area )
Use the doors on front to make an integrated garage area
could be a nice "enclosed house" if you lived in a very cold climate and wanted the comforts of a lawn and an "outdoor patio" you could sit on even if it was 20 degrees below. You may need to insulate the outerwall a bit depending how cold/hot it was where you lived.
Nor do I
TM = & #153Quonset. It’s also a trademarked name
HTML interprets Quonset™ as Quonset™™ also yields ™
(Note that & displays “&”. I induced HTML to show you what I meant by using & where I wanted it to display & instead of interpreting the “&” I wanted you to see as part of an HTML tag).
Great illustration for your point! I’d love to give your idea a try.
[ Great illustration for your point! I’d love to give your idea a try. ]
I have been thinking about how to make a building / mini-arcology that is EM proof, tornado proof, hail proof, that can be somewhat “off the gird” and allow for decent heating/cooling.
Something that could easily be a fallout shelter and asteroid shelter/yellowstone shelter/gamma ray burst shelter, etc etc...
But a nice place to live as well.
The design of a the quancet outer structure would provide ample load bearing for ash buildup / tornado loads. I would build it about 1/2 way up a hill on higher ground and probably cover the lower 1/3 of the sides with dirt and grass.
The air filtering is something I have yet to think about but with enough though you could build a passive airflow system that could filter out fallout and ash etc...while normalizing it’s temperature using one of the four “thermal tubes”
I would probably put the actual water well inside of one of the thermal tubes. The only main structure leaving the main complex underground would be the leech field for sewage.
It is kind of a thought experiment I have been rattling around in my mind for a while.
From any road it would just look like a regular curved steel building you would see on any farm...
There ya go! A Reynolds Wrap burqua for 5G protection.
Lets get real here. You will only be getting 4G where you live and from that cell tower that you say is 1000 ft from your house or second home. No cell phone provider is going to set up and stack up numerous 5G antennae out in the boondocks. The new 5G phones are also 4G capable. I see cities and suburbs getting blasted by 5G waves but not rural areas.
“They transmit in milliwatts.”
5G phones will transmit at a higher milliwattage than 4G phones?
Well then, sign up and get your 5G service.
Like the article says... "I fear 5G might be like asbestos, spreading everywhere through society, only to notice - too late - of the damage it has done."
The full dangers of asbestos were not known to the public until a few decades ago. Although asbestos companies were aware of its cancer-causing properties as early as the 1930s, they withheld that information from the public. Not knowing the connection between their disease and their former workplace, many people who were exposed to asbestos years ago may have died before the dangers of mesothelioma were known.
The full impact of asbestos may remain unknown. Before the dangers of asbestos were known to the public, hundreds of thousands of people may have died from asbestos exposure without ever knowing the connection between their condition and their past encounters with asbestos fibers. Fortunately, you don’t have to have the same fate.
By aggressively pursuing cancer treatment and litigation against the people responsible for your condition, you may be able to find relief and closure for you and your family. Asbestos companies knowingly and cold-heartedly exposed huge numbers of people to carcinogenic fibers.
Might be best to exercise the "Better to be SAFE, than SORRY" approach.
