I've been wanting to move to Wy, but I can't figure out what locations actually have decent internet. Looks like Casper has gigabit fiber? That's all I can tell so far.
In live in San Antonio and while you can get gigabit AT&T even Google Fiber (I can get either) many neighborhoods have 25-50 mbit max from AT&T so you get whatever your cable provider (Spectrum offers).
Cool and all, but I'd settle for a cellular network in Wyoming.

If you live out of town, or in a really small town, you're gonna have tougher luck
We tend to forget it's really hard to do.
Dumb question: What gives NASA the authority to build anything on the moon?
A better question: are there any agreements forbidding anyone from constructing something on the moon?
Building anything else is perfectly fine, as long as you don't claim ownership over a portion of a celestial object.

I see cell towers in the desert that are "disguised" to look like pine trees in places where pine trees haven't grown in 10,000 years. https://twitter.com/Reaperducer/status/1153046208442540032
Here's a Google Maps image of one of these "trees" from a distance. This one is in the UK. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.8765015,-2.0253306,3a,75y,...

What do you consider decent? Gigabit only? You can get at least 60-100 Mbps in most towns, as long as you aren't out of town. Probably gigabit if you're willing to pay a lot. Spectrum is the main option in the big towns. Looks like you can get gigabit from them in the big towns for $110/month for the first 12 months. Not sure what it would go to after that. If you live out of town, or in a really small town, you're g…
I just have been curious about this question for long. Sure, we could keep an earth referential on a moon base, but then what about Mars?
As a software developer it is already difficult to always get dates/times properly with timezones, now imagine places which does not have 24 hours per day or the same weeks/months/years durations...

When I was looking for property in WA and OR there was absolutely no way to get internet (even DSL was a big maybe) outside of towns.
This reminds me of when the Bush administration gave the contract for building a cell network in Iraq to Worldcom. And Worldcom went bankrupt. Clearly, they were not in the right position to fullfill the contract, but they were in the right position to bribe their way into the contract.
Nokia is a highly profitable company. I’m not seeing the comparison. Their loss making division was the phones division which was sold off a while ago.
Is anyone aware of a date/time representation system that would work universally (including extraterrestrial places)? I just have been curious about this question for long. Sure, we could keep an earth referential on a moon base, but then what about Mars?
