And this means that Internet providers could potentially slow down your Internet depending on what kind of demographics you've been ticking off. In short, they could make you pay more to visit smaller websites, which is American crapitalism as its finest.

How do you quantize the internet? Bandwith? Data storage? Algorithms?

2021-01-14 01:03:53 UTC  

The telecoms that gets installed in the ground to give you internet is owned by a public utility company, and is "rented" out to your internet service provider iirc.

2021-01-14 01:04:04 UTC  

Read the Bible

2021-01-14 01:04:56 UTC  

could be confusing that with electrical energy suppliers, though

2021-01-14 01:05:12 UTC  

Bandwith is the rate of transfer across a band, so yeah.

2021-01-14 01:07:00 UTC  

It's usually owned by the telecom carrier (e.g. ATT) but this has changed as we've moved over to fiber optics.

2021-01-14 01:07:20 UTC  

Read the Quran

2021-01-14 01:07:32 UTC  

Bible is gay and cringe

My first house had an actual wire above the roof for a "separate landline" that was dial-up.

2021-01-14 01:07:48 UTC  

Read the Torah, goy 🇮🇱

2021-01-14 01:08:06 UTC  

And then I got broadband which was like glass-shattering fast at the time.

2021-01-14 01:08:27 UTC  

fine cause I'm taller than them and could kill them

2021-01-14 01:08:36 UTC  

So you would quantize your product as "(quantaty of information transmitted/t)" so a telecom sells bandwith to an ISP who then funnels data througn this connection from the telecom?

2021-01-14 01:09:14 UTC  

put em down like a drug addicted jogger lol

2021-01-14 01:09:28 UTC  

The telecom/telco and the ISP are usually the same company nowadays.

2021-01-14 01:10:03 UTC  

Comcast acquired AT&T Broadband.

2021-01-14 01:10:04 UTC  

Interesting

2021-01-14 01:10:24 UTC  

Comcast was the ISP and AT&T was the Telco.

2021-01-14 01:10:32 UTC  

So they practically have a monopoly over their customers.

I believe it happened sometime around 2001 or 2002.

2021-01-14 01:11:55 UTC  

It was when AOL and Time-Warner did that stupid merge, too.

2021-01-14 01:14:02 UTC  

How would you change the current system to make this nationalized? Would you have to make deals with foreign nations over the bandwith?

2021-01-14 01:14:16 UTC  

I can't wait for Floppa Friday

2021-01-14 01:15:00 UTC  

There's already a system of traffic exchange for bandwidth.

2021-01-14 01:15:45 UTC  

There are countries with universal broadband already: several nations in Europe have done it.

2021-01-14 01:16:10 UTC  

I believe Switzerland was the first.

2021-01-14 01:17:41 UTC  

Personally i believe state nations in europe are dead but lets continue with this, how do you prioritize resources as an individual leader?

2021-01-14 01:18:09 UTC  

I don't. I don't want to be an individual leader.

2021-01-14 01:18:50 UTC  

How would you want your nations leader to prioritize resources?

2021-01-14 01:19:47 UTC  

Resources should be prioritized as per their sustainability and cultural value.

2021-01-14 01:20:03 UTC  

And of course, with respect to their original purpose.

2021-01-14 01:22:44 UTC  

>i am 5 and this is deep
So pump all of the iron into steel, pump all of the wheat into bread and fill all the banks with gold? Or are you suggesting an entire department to manage one resource in a market of many other departments with many different resources?
