This is so sick! How'd you manage to get the specs for CDMA? Did you reverse engineer?

As far as electric goes, that's a nice thought but the reality is prices will not go down in such a scenario. I'd rather my bill go to subsidizing rural areas than to pure profit. Nevermind there are benefits helpful to rural areas that grid service can provide versus solar+battery.

The "uses others solutions" bit is for satellite alone when it comes to Tusass. They own and run all other types of telecom service in Greenland whether fiber, cellular, microwave, or marine radio.

Of course. People are never genuine in their interest or preference of things. It's always about status, wealth, and their standing among their peers. /s

God y'all need to have some hobbies.

>If a network theoretically prioritized phone calls

This already exists and is an example of a good use of priority. Cellular networks offer Voice over LTE and this is inherently prioritized over all other network traffic. This is done specifically for E911 but also implements special settings so calls can continue to go through even when coverage is very poor (and where VoIP apps would start to fail).

This is correct. Slicing can offer significant performance gains in certain situations. For example, lower latency when certain users need it while not overburdening the network by having to give that to every user.

The full title says: "Building the first highway segment in the U.S. that can charge electric vehicles big and small as they drive"

It's obviously about more than just freight trucks even if that's their initial intention for the project.

It never ceases to amaze me the lengths we will go to overcomplicate transportation just so everyone has to continue to buy and maintain their own vehicle.

Yes this exactly. If I'm not allowed to talk about the health effects of car infrastructure (because apparently that's "feelings") then let's just talk about money.

Cars are horrendously over-subsidized and are FAR more expensive to maintain infrastructure for in exchange for moving way fewer people. Trains might not cover their costs with fare but they move a hell of a lot more people while simultaneously being underinvested in, in the US.

Maybe consider that a car is just an expensive thing to own? Why should costs stop at cost-of-ownership when cars affect the lives of more than just their owners?

It just isn't at all. It's still on-air in the US and much of Europe not to mention huge countries like India (where it is still heavily used) and China plus many African countries.

There are only so many partners for cellular basebands in Android phones realistically. Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Samsung make up the vast majority of that market. Google already cooperates with them for other work I'm sure. No reason they wouldn't want to implement this.

Where'd you hear that?

Verizon Pixels have issues with BOOTLOADER unlocks. Not carrier unlocks. In fact, Verizon is legally obligated to unlock their devices even regardless of installment plan financing due to rules the FCC has in place on their wireless spectrum.

Well yeah. The carrier's job is not to sell devices. It's to sell the services that they provide. If you don't want that, you have to buy unlocked from the manufacturer and finance another way.

I wouldn't call it misleading at all. The terms are laid out that you have to subscribe. Carriers won't sell you a phone outright in their stores without it being activated on a new account. Believe me I've asked.
