The development machines used to create satellite software are likely running Windows, but the satellites are more likely to be running a real time OS such as VxWorks, Rodos, RTEMS, etc.

Why was there a regulation in place preventing this in the first place? I don’t get it.

You’re not accounting for the 1 to 7 stock split. 7 * 11.55

21.5% is not what I would consider “most of the population”.

Years ago you could simply tape the prepaid business envelope to a 2”x4” block of wood, a brick, or anything else heavy and the mailman would take it. Too much fun...

This is a naive response I see given to iPhone users when they ask about how to get a certain feature. It’s obvious no research was put into this answer as a sibling comment to yours clearly helped out by suggesting Charles proxy which is now available natively on iOS.

I'm sure Epic doesn't mind given their savings of staying out of Google Play.

Not necessarily, as there are more regulations for manufacturing factory pollution in the US.

In Chicago, I'm currently living in a high rise where the fastest plan I can get is 24 Mbps for around $80/mo. My high rise has an exclusivity contract with AT&T U-Verse. I've spoken with AT&T reps and they can't offer any higher speeds. I also talked to property management and they said there's nothing they can do for me. They are locked into an exclusivity contract with AT&T for the wires in the building.

Does anyone have experience dealing with properties who claim to have exclusivity contracts? I talked to people at Webpass, and they've stated it is available in my area. They'd come in and set everything up free of charge. I don't see the downside for my building to allow Webpass to come in.

I do know the FCC has regulations about exclusivity contracts with video providers, but I couldn't find any documents on things like internet. It seems like my only option is to find a place that does not have exclusivity contracts with providers.
