Gigabit goal “prejudicial” to satellite and wireless
Ah, so money changed hands. Got it.

Did they get paid by a POTS modem maker? Is someone trying to resurrect US Robotics?
Nah, this is for Musk and Bezos because their satellites can’t get anywhere near gigabit.
1: Starlink
2: All providers don’t have to upgrade all of their infrastructure and can sell a 50Mbps link as fast. Backhaul can be much smaller and they can over-sell 50Mbps to a lot more people in a neighborhood than 1000Mbps.
3: All that core backhaul can be reserved for flock camera cellular feeds and AI datacenter traffic without having to spend on further upgrades.
A general regression, brought to you by the Regressive party.
I doubt it, major shift with most carriers to get rid of old switching gear. New gear isn’t being made, old gear is expensive to maintain, and FFC has been changing a lot of rules around the service. Its now, near impossible to get new POTS traditional services anymore. Today it’s mostly POTS in a box; 5G wireless to a ATA device, with battery backup for survivability.
I’ve always wondered if an old modem would work through VOIP. But it might rely on some frequencies that aren’t encoded.
It will, ther just isn’t much call for it. I used to be in manged services and for some clients analog backup was a requirement, but you typically want those using a POTS line because they are less susceptible to power and network outages. FoIP is a thing, FAX shares the same basic principles, and there are protocols and codecs specifically tailored to provide better FAX transmission reliability.
Look up PCM, It’s pretty interesting if your into that sort of thing, and there is plenty of room to chase the rabbit.
