    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. …

    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,…

    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 som…

    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…

    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 truc…

    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 horren…

    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?

    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 coo…

    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 ins…

    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…

    What are you trying to say here though? The money is more important than people being rehabilitated? Not everything scales well. Sometimes you just have to spend to fix.

    This type of perma-locking was only an issue for iPads with Apple SIM as I recall. Not the GSMA eSIM technology that is used in devices now.

    No carrier in the US charges for an unlock. So long as a device is paid off in full, all 3 carriers will unlock devices for free.

    Do you have any good sources of reading for the eSIM standard with regards to this? Projects like Ukama make it look easy to issue your own eSIMs but I don't understand whether it'…

    There are other stacks that implement TDD-LTE. Could be possible with OpenAirInterface though I'm not sure if it's ever been successfully tried.

    I invite the WiFi Alliance to participate more in 3GPP meetings and straighten out the standard for handover between LTE/5G and Passpoint WiFi networks then.
