[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3461938, member: 58386"] But who would spearhead the initiative? Out here in the rural areas Verizon wants to eliminate land line telephones all together and does next to nothing in the way of maintenance . At the back end of my yard is a pole. On that pole rests the switching equipment for the land line phones for the surrounding homes.Now what manufacturer's name is on the switch box? Western Electric. The old Bell System owned equipment manufacturer. Probably made back in the 1960's or perhaps the 1950's. In these parts there is only one communication network that from reliability perspective that's worse than land lines and that's cell phone service. Verizon is licensed as a nationwide phone and internet provider. Now out here Verizon's long standing belly ache surrounds it's claim that it can't make any money out here. It doesn't want to spend any money keeping up it's land lines or spend the money to put in the cell phone towers needed to fix the dead spots. Same with AT&T T-mobile Sprint etc. Therefore if there is a nationwide initiative undertaken to bring reliable 5G service nationwide to the nation's rural areas it will require heavy public investment. Call us rednecks if you want but remember the raw materials needed to build the cities that today creates wealth and opportunities for you as well as the raw agricultural commodities needed to feed you came from out here in redneck country .
