Pick up the glove?
I can be part of a team. I am not as close as to the equipment as I used to be.
I need help assembling a demo configuration that can engage the subscribers.
Building a local team for this has been very slow going.

I like helping a market #3 or #4 disrupt an incumbent. In most cases I have seen, the #2 already has a game plan for competing with #1. A distant #3 is usually the most hungry.

The business community needs to be educated that their productivity will improve. The social leaders need to learn that their community will get better service. Then, and only then, can I see the ISP feeling the need to improve. It helps if the improvement is just open-source software on their hardware investment.

I generally just read and don't contribute on those discussions, because that's not my area of expertise. I only posted my point on bandwidth, not to detract from the importance of reducing latency, but to correct what I believed to be an important error on minimum bandwidth required to be able to perform standard Internet functions.

Anything short of that will deny users access to the primary streaming services, and more specifically won't be able to watch 4K HDR video, which is the market standard for streaming services today and likely will remain at that level for the next several years.
