I’ve had conversations with Wiener’s staff (he’s my Senator, I served with him on the local Dem Party). There’s confusion about what “micro trenching” is. I understand that deeper trenching is safer (I live in wildfire territory) and for fiber to and through the premises (FTTP) – his staff seem to think that micro trenching can be used for FTTP as well.
Can you clarify?
Also, I was told that 5G does not facilitate voice data and does not connect to the internet. It speeds up downloading of data. Why is it needed?
