lt cap,

Thanks for the take. Wireless is in a terrrible downdraft because....? Telecoms and other users of wireless products are waiting for 4.5g or 4.9g or....figuring that they can wait it out until the real 5g cycle beginas? And/or because they're finding ways to delay buildout (see below)? Or have I got that quite wrong.

I have Comcast. Which is every bit as miserable as Time Warner. So they would be a perfect match. Got a notice from Comcast in the mail last week. Explaining a new policy - I have heard of this but thought it was much further into the future. They will allow users 1TB of data per month.  Saying that that won't affect something like 98% of users or some funny accounting like that - and those who go over 1tb will need to buy more 'packets' of data transmission. They claim you'll never see it - citing that you can stream 12,000 movies or more funny accounting just using the 1tb you are given. I have to admit that the 1tb is way beyond anything I will need. But I have no cable nor streaming services (well, except for PBS streaming and Amazon video occaisionally.) But I also see it, perhaps, as their foray into the area of data-cappng, and may well induce lower limits over time, as they'll see what they can get away with without losing customers, but lessening the need for build-out. May be my paranoid fantasy, but their record on screwing their customers isn't exactly a mirage. I don't know what kind of usage digital distrabution of  games and playing online takes up. If your kid is playing online 13 hours a day, I don't know what the hit to your usage that takes, not to mention the costs of paying for weight-watchers and the psychiatrist's bill.
