Well, I think you're right.

I experience that myself, as a matter of fact.

My service in my own living room is marginal, and I do get dropped calls sometimes.

The emphasis that the carriers have put on 5G is an example of how

They're less interested in their customers who are talking and listening than they are in data getting super high speeds and things of that nature.

And in doing so, in emphasizing what they call latency and high speeds, they're looking for industrial customers, and they're not taking care of us consumers as they ought to.

Yeah.

Even though we have this cellular approach where lots of cell sites all over the city, if there's too much traffic, you get dropped calls.

And that's the basic reason that you're getting poor service.

There are too many people trying to get on too few channels and you get dropped calls as a result.

Well, it was a heartbreak to me because Motorola were the leaders, and the people that took over that business after I left Motorola had the hubris to think that they could control the world.

And when the carriers, the people that provide the service, decided that things were to go digital, Motorola resisted that.

They said, you know, we don't need digital.

We can provide you better service.

with analog well it turns out at that time they were right but the carriers decided that they were going to go digital and other people responded to them with digital technology and motorola had trouble catching up and by the time they did catch up other people specifically samsung and apple had taken over the market

Motorola ended up being bought by Google, of all things.

That lasted for about a year.

And today, Motorola is part of a Chinese company.

It's a heartbreak to me, but it's an example of if you don't stay on your toes and compete, you get beat by other people.

First of all, I did tell you what primitive times there were.
