Utopia

I saw the new iPhone on Sunday and I was really amazed by it.  It will do just about everything. It has GPS, HD camera, HD video and makes phone calls of course and it has Siri.  It's Apple's answer to Google. 

You can ask the phone in a verbal command to search the web for this or that.  It will send a text to my wife - tell her I'll be home late - by verbal commands and dictation.  It does all of this and it's a tiny little phone that fits in your hand.  It's amazing and has incredible pictures and you can watch HD movies on it.  There is just about nothing it won't do.  There are so many applications (apps) for it.  The younger generation is enthralled with this phone it is so incredible.  This phone (and other smart phones) will be the death of Utopia.  I can only hope to live to see it. 

Fiber to the home is mostly malarkey.  No one in the rising generation cares about fiber to the home . No one under 30 goes home to send a text or e-mail message from their home computer. They have smart phones; iPhone and android phones.  They stay connected with their phones.
 

They're totally mobile! These phones are wireless and fiberless.  They are not physically connected to anything.  This will definitely be the final final final bankruptcy of Utopia. 

If the managers of Utopia were smart/honest they would sell now to the highest bidder at what ever price so the new owner can connect the fiber network to cell towers.

So, once again I'm predicting the insolvency of or the continuing insolvency of Utopia.  Now all we need to do is get out of the way and let it collapse.

If you don't believe me just ask your kids or your nephews and nieces or the neighbor kid to show you their iPhone or their android phone. They are incredible, relatively cheap and they do so much.  Mobility trumps the speed of fiber optics because wireless is better.

That is my post for today. Once again I am predicting the insolvency of Utopia.
