  • Mesh back haul can get some distance connecting some communities aa well.

    I agree though, the intercontental circuts need major captial (fiber/satilite). Ideally, to me, that would multinational orgnization building common infrastruture for the collective benefit. There is no kind of org though, that doesn’t have some attempted leverage gain, so its more about creating a balance of powers then denying them.

    So local nation states and coalitions, the UN, Internatiinal NGOs like the Linux Foundation, Alliance for Affordable Internet (A4AI), The Internet Society, local tech industry, aid from countries like the US, China, and EU members, and finally western Big Tech. These can all be stakeholders but it’s important that putting the power into the individuals and communities is a major bulwark to the intentional creation of digital underclass.



  • It depends to me. AR has some real value use cases in the trades imho. Assuming they can be OSHA certed and not a pain in the dick to wear while doing real work in unconditioned conditions.

    Otherswise its just more screen realestate and “novel” data presentation. Both have value too, doing real work.

    There is value in novel forms of expression too that avatars and creating 3d art too.

    But yeah, advertising works and people dont just get what they need to create but get to consume. I cant find clit all in the first field in the consumer space, even the profesional space is pretty niche.

    The latter has some but its really enthusists just making face game consoles work.

    The last one though, that has some serious momentum, and for some good reason. Its not capital intesive, not compared to the first, and less niche then the second (cause lets be honest how much do most people need more screen or novel data presentation).
