This is a normal post "Brain surgeons in Edinburgh operating on patients in New Zealand"
Odd that the inventor of the geostationary satellite doesn't appreciate the concept of latency. Still he did predict the alien invasion of 2023 so fair play to him.

This is a normal post Hey, now. It's practically been accomplished by EE.
And there's absolutely no bullshittery going on whatsoever. Honest.

This is a normal post Last time I checked
EE didn't have any 5G masts in New Zealand. They'll only start to install them after the 2023 alien invasion.

This is a normal post Don't get me started on EE
Their "Landing a plane" advert winds me up something rotten - I suspect the only part of that setup that needed high bitrates was the video screens, which AFAIK were entirely redundant. If they'd said "To land a plane you need rock-solid 500Mbps upstream/downstream" I might have been vaguely impressed, but I doubt that's the case.

This is a normal post There’s nothing in that advert that couldn’t be achieved with a VHF radio.
In fact, they’d need a local VHF radio to communicate with the crew WHO ARE ACTUALLY LANDING THE PLANE.

I’m amazed that they were allowed to get away with that advert.

I'm not sure I'd like a third of a second delay between the surgeon moving the scalpel and it cutting through my gray matter. But you're right there has been much improvement with the laying of undersea fibre replacing the old fashioned way of going up to one of Arthur C Clarke's Geostationary Satellites 37,000km away and then back down again. And he was right about the 2023 alien invasion so fair play to him.

This is a normal post I've went to one telemedicine conference in the mid nineties, a demo had video quality that was like a wonky dvd but thankfully this wasn't being used for operations
lag might add fun but signal corruption could really spoil your day

This is a normal post If there's any profession that should take the maxim "measure twice, cut once" to heart, it's brain surgery.

This is a normal post I made a prediction in 1990 that by the year 2000 there would be many more types of shampoo available
History has proved me right

This is a normal post Yet in the 70's there were textbooks that would prove you wrong.
As we were to have run out of oil by then, Hence detergents and plastics.
