Yep, I’ve had one power supply fail in like 15 years. That and power outages was it for downtime on my own equipment. Can’t say that about other services I’ve used.

“Hopes”, more like will be doing a bunch of anti-competitive bullshit to ensure that this is your only option.

What good is ham radio in a “replace the internet” situation though? Can you send data over it? I read early that you can’t encrypt it. I’m not an expert on the subject but as far as I can tell from reading about it here, it’s not an answer to this topic.

France seeks to ID everyone using social media.
