Always Coming, Never Here

It's always about money. The carriers don't want to invest in infrastructure, because that will reduce their profits. There's no incentive to build better networks, whether it's a wireless or cable provider. Our system only encourages monopolies, not competition - if it were truly a free market, companies would be competing by building bigger and better networks and innovating ways to make them cheaper; instead, we have fat and slow behemoths that only care about milking their customers and providing the minimum possible level of service at minimal effort.
