Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

Space Garbage. Solar flares, hurricanes, thunderstorms. Good luck with high latency.

Horseless carriages? Yeah, right!

@h7 Wireline will be just fine. Fios is still growing and all wireless networks need a terrestrial network despite what certain individuals on this board are saying.

@ft Who cares? Take your BS to the Space Link board.

All this talk about 5G, FWA, stadiums, etc...

Where does that leave Wireline/Fios ? Associates will need to go to the library and take a course !!!

AI Data Center reductions hurt dark fiber vision but central office edge technology will be a necessity. Who would be the best edge companies ?

Hmmmmmmmmm

@ak Verizon/Flood is right it’s hard to run ANY company when the entire workforce works from home and leaders openly promote NOT working to their employees and drive off (or fire) true talent and knowledge. Of course Verizon’s leaders are PERFORMATIVE and can’t accept they are bad at leading. Which is why they have to play Katy Perry songs at the beginning and end of meetings to bring energy to the meeting (like a bunch of post-menopausal balding women).

Or the pretty office politicking and emotional bribes to coddle garbage employees. Only done because leaders are SCARED of pulse surveys (like my avp who is so scared because her corruption runs DEEP).

You SpaceX deniers are all just whistling past the graveyard.

Every day he moves closer and you laugh and throw insults and say it isn't happening. You really cannot be that stupid.

Musk stupid, Musk if fake, Musk is this, Musk is that.

And Musk has:
Done more
Succeeded more
Spent more
Lost more
And is worth more than most people in this world...

Certainly more than anyone on this forum.

Pull your heads outta your collective a$$es or each others a$$es for that matter. This is happening whether you like it or not and the public wants it to happen. Just read the new reports and business sites.

Verizon can live in denial and get run over or it can try to get it's sh!t together and be a part of it. No other options available other than pull up stakes and go home.

Right now Dan is asleep at the wheel and just hoping to cash out and he doesn't give a rats a$$ about you or anything else.

@fd Haha! Excellent!

@dj Bad week for Elon. First he wasted half a billion on the election. Today his companies got crushed in the market. He keeps this up, he will need a GoFundMe account.

@ag Dan the man is going to make a lot of people rich. Me included!

YOU ARE STUPID.

■ SPACEX "STARLINK" WILL STILL NEED A "FULLY FUNCTIONING" WIRELESS CARRIER NETWORK.

■ MEANING INDOOR WIRELESS SERVICE COVERAGE, AND DENSE AREA COVERAGE; LIKE AT SPORTING EVENTS.

■ INCLUDE E911 (ETC.) THAT WORKS.

$500.0 BILLION COST, AND A 5-7 YEAR TIMEFRAME.

@ak Neither does Dan.

But Elon knows how to start one, and quickly.

How many has Dan started?

How of anything has Dan started for that matter?

He only knows how to do the wetwork but that comes easy to sociopaths.

@a9 Calling direct quotes from an article AI slop? That must be your denial showing. That's why you will be sitting there in you mom's basement wondering what happened when SpaceX runs Verizon over.

Maybe I misunderstood. Did you mean Verizon's AI is slop? Well, that is dead on accurate.

@a7 Nice AI slop. And, Dan’s “low pay”… You guys are f’ing ridiculous.

The more I read, it seems that this is going to happen soon and might even be better than anyone else in the end. The last paragraph says a lot about whether Dan needs to worry more than he is. I think he has been laying the groundwork, no pun intended, way before he ever mentioned it.

SpaceX will deploy Qualcomm's QRU100 and QDU100 hardware solutions along with its Layer 1 (the lowest physical layer of the Radio Access Network) software.

The network will leverage Massive MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) — which uses multi-antenna tech to improve coverage and capacity — and energy-efficient baseband technology to enable a cost-effective nationwide rollout. The partnership will extend into the 6G era.

SpaceX aims to begin deploying its 5G network next year, rolling out tens of thousands of sites over several years.

Technical details reveal that Starlink Mobile will use Massive MIMO radio units with 64 transmit and 64 receive paths for advanced antenna capabilities.

Qualcomm's Dragonwing solutions will provide processing for Massive MIMO radio units and Layer 1 to achieve efficiency. Qualcomm's radio unit and distributed unit technologies will allow SpaceX to use multiple frequency bands, enabling a phased rollout.

SpaceX initially painted the picture of a network that would rely heavily on satellites, but the company is now building out standard terrestrial infrastructure. Meanwhile, the Federal Communications Commission is trying to unlock more spectrum for SpaceX, which currently holds under 89 MHz of spectrum compared to the roughly 300 MHz held by each of the Big Three.

Spectrum is the fundamental building block of any wireless network. SpaceX's pace suggests it might bid aggressively in upcoming auctions to close the gap as much as possible, with satellites filling any remaining coverage shortfalls.

The real story isn't just that SpaceX is using a vendor that has also worked with AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. It's that SpaceX is making tangible moves toward constructing a mobile network, which will function much like legacy networks, except there likely won't be any blackouts thanks to the satellite fallback layer.

Well it makes sense that he would say that trying to "calm" the street. The majority of Dan's pay is tied to stock performance. Low stock price = Low pay for him.
