If there was another option I'd take it. As it is though, I'm travelling around Australia and it's freaking brilliant. Australia has zero coverage for most of the country outside of the towns and city regions. I can park up in total outback with no phone reception and get anywhere from 150 to 400 Mbps. I couldn't do this without it, so I'll take it, as it's the only option

I'm not even American or in America and I'm mad he derailed the chances of the USA having high-speed rail all for this half-assed hyper-loop project.
