here's what I will tell you. the major carriers,
#AT&T,
#verizon and the other major carriers like
#lumen and
#fronteer will be sorry when a
#giomagnetic #storm, and/or a
#hurricane #katrina level event occurs and no one can call anyone anymore.
#telecommunications was supposed to be a utility, not a cash grab. in fact, I worked for a gas station that literally ran on a
#landline. so to lose the ability to make calls/receive calls to and from a landline because "property tax" and "it's too hard to maintain" is a stupid reason. in fact, the electricity requirements are very low, about 48v per call. you can literally runs several dusen calls with a hundred waughts as long as it can output 48v because the landlines only run at about 2/3v at any given time, and are pretty much on demand. and the
#salt #typhoon #breech makes this fcc ruling even worse, because it's
extremely bad timing. the remote management of
#fiber connections with a computer is exactly the problem. you can't remotely get into a copper wired landline remotely from an office in beijing because it's physically impossible to do so. and the
#property #tax /
#taxes excuse? save the bowlshit! you are, in fact, causing even more of a proprty tax burden when you are running an
#ai #datacenter or a fiber network because of not only the power required to run it, which is hundreds of times more than a copper line, but also the amount of power you are buying, which accounts for not just servers, but also NPU's, GPU's, bandwidth, etc. and you won a clamer running landline is expensive to maintain, yeah, fuck you, fellas at the
#fcc . you'll be sorry when something like a nother hurricane Katrina level event happens and your customers bale on you because they don't have assurance that they can get connected with their families, let alone call
#911 in crisis. reminds me of a song from
