In some places they are.
In Utah, for example, there’s a system called Utopia. They ran fiber all over the place, to the home in most locations. The fiber itself is an Ethernet network owned by Utopia. ISPs then just provide service over said Ethernet network. You can have multiple ISPs at the same time, and they don’t actually own the last-mile, or much else
After switching to Pulumi, I don’t ever want to use terraform again
Wonder how many things they shit up
I was surprised to find that an old Plex feature, controlling any one player from any other instance, such as playing on a laptop and controlling with a cell phone, no longer worked. My wife and I used that a lot when traveling, as plugging a laptop into a hotel TV with an HDMI cable is generally far more bullet proof than any streaming stick
Course sometimes we’d stay in an Airbnb, and they’d have a Roku or Apple TV, where we’d just sign into a Plex app and use it there. But that’s beyond the point
