As someone who works in the telecommunications industry, look up RDOF.
Not only is it a HUGE timeline that does nothing to incentivize actually completing a project early, but the main RDOF winner in my area has only wireless service available with zero construction projects planned except to put up more wireless equipment.
It also means those areas that company claims they’ll serve one day are ineligible for any more grant money and now that companies that are willing to bring fiber to those homes have to pay a boatload out of pocket while the RDOF winner just hangs out and watches.
The bottom line is and always will be in almost any industry some variation of “we already set up hardware that was developed solely to use this ancient thing that’s a standard. Once this new thing becomes industry standard, then we’ll switch.” With the big issue there being, the industry standard will never change until somebody makes the first change and nobody wants to risk the amount of money it would cost to switch.
Oh hey, it’s that time every couple of years Google pretends to care about tablets again!
Got the same thing. Don’t even see it in TestFlight anymore.
