Sorry to digress even further, but I love bridges and this is such an
amazing brochure, about bridges over Hudson in New York State 😇

https://nysba.ny.gov - should be accessible here, but can't open it
now...which is strange.




All the best,

Frank

I know a guy who does devops for factories, and he has amazing stories -- might be good to make that connection as well.

It seemed like one of their points was that you could remotely operate cargo container movements with the crane via a remote workforce over a low delay network connection - even with fairly limited bandwidth (they’d adjust the throughput down to just a few hundred kbps).

Yes, I understand that that is what Nokia sells, so everything looks like a nail to them, but really "caveat emptor", just because something can be done does not mean it should be done as well...

 why you ask???? ... answer 
 CDMA and the IPR behind it!  It was and still is “all about the money!”. My phone has 5G and when download rates plummet to the floor, all I have to do is look at the top of the display, and lo and behold 
 I’m on 5G!!! If you believe 5G is going to be better, I have a bridge for you that “is going to be soooo much better” JJJ

(but truth be told, when I bought this phone I did not pay much attention to which bands it was suited for, it is not impossible that it at least partly my phone's fault that I am connecting with EDGE speeds, quite the throw-back to the 2000s ;) but back then EDGE was indeed cutting edge).
