Dear FCC and US cable companies: American cord cutting = eliminating cable packages for content viewing but keeping it necessary for internet.
Japanese cord cutting = independent internet. No cable provider. No phone company. Japan has lots of problems. True internet freedom ain't one of 'em. WiMAX technology. 40 bucks a month, unlimited, running 24/7. Fits in your pocket. Done.
Some American companies are attempting to bridge the great ISP divide between customer and internet by breaking up cables stranglehold on overpriced internet, now deemed a necessary utility.
But while companies like FreedomPop, Scratch Wireless, and Republic Wireless boast very low-cost internet with a chic wanna-be indie status, they first require the shlepping of a brand new phone on you to get started. phone makers slapping them with the strong pimp hand. Can you smell that? It's the smell of hypocrisy. a dumpster diving hipster walking out the back door of urban outfitters with a vintage flannel knit.
Feel like smacking the FCC and the cable company lobbyist pockets where they reside. Convenient bedfellows while the American people have no idea how it can be.
Let's see what those google balloons do for developed America. people in the outback and sub-saharan Africa will be rockin out with uninterrupted video skyping and streaming with reliable 4g while there likely will be a mysterious jet stream gap in the stratosphere exactly over the USA, keeping google balloons out of American air space, and true internet freedom a pipe dream, predicts the FCC.
Sincerely,
Happy WiMAX trick
