I've been thinking about this 3G shutdown malarkey.
People buy devices and services from mobile carriers with a reasonable expectations of being able to use them until their device reaches EOL. If carriers turn off 3G, while there are customers with devices that need it to access all current services, this is a bait-and-switch. Not fair trading practice.

@steveroy There is one thing for certain... 550Mbps != 1Gbps.
What if a business "going public" (#IPO) meant being converted into a cooperative? The #founder gets their cash payout for building something of value to the community by actually *selling* it to the community? Power to the people!
I want to see laws passed that help promote and incentivize this option.
#Cooperatives reduce:
* #Inequality
* #EconomicInstability
* #PerverseIncentives
* #ConflictsOfInterest
The #profit made by a cooperative goes back into the #community, and their #leadership decisions are made by the community, because they are #CommunityOwned.
That means they'll listen if you say #climate matters. They'll care if you want to look out for the #disadvantaged in your community. They won't try to rake you over the coals with #PriceGouging. They won't try to trick you with #FalseAdvertizing. They won't try to manipulate you into #overspending or #ImpulseBuys. Because "they" are YOU.
