All of us fighting over tiny slivers of bandwidth while telecom monopolies gobble up giant chunks of spectrum.

Its more or less fixed when wifi 6E is rolled out. That gives a massive amount of spectrum.

Nice! I wasn't aware of this new unlicensed spectrum. It will take years to become widely available but it's great news.
