Exactly <3
I’m not building today’s network… why would you build todays’ network? It’s obsolete in 24 hours.
I’m building a network to out-last me…
Are other people not doing this? The speed test in my signature is a residential connection, it’s real. I can do 7gigs to a laptop now. It’s astonishing. AR environments and heck, video games are already there….
How can it be that so many fine minds don’t see this? Does this create more opportunity for me, or just make my job of connecting the world; harder?
Happy Tuesday all.
