That's just a business probrem for them, they'll fix it with Amazon Fibre(tm) or something like that

They already have a Starlink-like program in the works. (Not that latency is important or anything with compute over internet.)

Yet another way to double-dip, I'm surprised they haven't released it already

They want us more desperate for it so that we will accept a higher price.

Or they'll bundle it directly with the compute they want to sell you so that you dont even have the option of using your own PC and all devices on the network are 100% validated and controlled by them.
