Yup or colo is full and won’t accept any more changes. So one has to wait until someone else gives up space and then a fire sale on the newly freed space.

BYD is in Mexico and selling so we see them on the streets. They are sharp looking cars.

You are right. I’m going to cry in a pillow now

Your forgot expensive too.

If they are so rural ISPs won’t take them, why would a cell company deploy 5G in a super sparse area?

For example TMO and VZW will only hand out home cell modem if you live within half mile of a major interstate. If not out of luck aside from Starlink.

We went one step further than courthouse and that was Las Vegas. About $1,500 USD for everything. Still together and no regrets.

There is a first time learning curve to climb and there is a project that good chance will never complete. This is really looking like the later than the former. Don’t forget how much money already sunk in. This was back in ‘22, project started in 2008.

Meanwhile we have been “figuring it out” and Mexico, you know what the US considers nothing but Cancun, cartels, beans, and needs a wall has learned, funded, built and opened first service in Dec and almost fully running today and way bigger, about 5x in track length. Total project cost around 30bil and few years to build. MX is even manufacturing the trains in Mexico.

The only good success on how to do rail, even if not bullet speeds, in the US is Brightline. They have plans to expand even further but at least is doing something today vs another 100bil and 1-2 decades.

By all metrics the CA project is a money pit.

40down, 6up, 50USD/mo go USA! Only other option is Starlink which already had and was too unreliable.

It is awesome
