> Who cares? With everything capped at 1 or 1.2TB of transfer per month, there's no point to having internet any faster.
Yeah, that's ridiculous. At least some well-known providers allow you to add an "unlimited" option to your internet plan.
> The other big problem is, a huge part of the country still has basically no internet.
That's a difficult problem to solve. There has to be incentives for corporations to bother laying infrastructure. When municipalities try to pitch in and do it themselves, they get shot down by the same players.
I guess the only viable option near term is Starlink.
I worked for a small time WISP for a while, partially servicing a town of ~10,000 (but mostly not because of interference) and large swathes of the rural surrounding areas. He was heavily harrassed by police for various nitpick infractions regarding the equipment on his truck and where things were placed and whatnot, things that the local power company and AT&T blatantly violated with regularity without repercussion. He was also met with resistance from the city board/mayor, who were trying to require some regulatory fees that they (come to find out) didn't even have on the books. I think the only reason his business survived this stupid pushback is because he is former law enforcement.
