The best part about MQA bankruptcy..

@erik_squires 

The US lags behind the rest of the world due to it's insistence on capitalism uber alles.  Performance per community and cost per connection varies a great deal here, but MQA is an elite product.

Well, that link shows (if you read further down on that page) that there are far more countries experiencing lower data rates (vs. higher) than the US. But the US also bilks customers at every opportunity - is it, then, time to change the system?

The best part about MQA bankruptcy..

.. is exactly that. 

We're not the slowest!!

That's got to be a great vote of confidence, @philosurfer

I'm guessing that response is a change of position on it (TIC)? Or do people just want faster downloads of cat pictures?

The bit compression, etc. seemed useless in the face of modern internet and phone speeds.

One point is that there are billions of people in the world (and many millions in the US) who technically or financially couldn't access these speeds - so if MQA can be a vehicle that helps in these situations (even though it would rank very low on a priority list in these circumstances), what's the problem? Greater adoption would be great (in the long run) for everyone.

I'm so glad I never spent a dime on MQA equipment, I kept waiting to see if it would really take root...Digital music SUX and this is a good example to remember.  My vinyl records dont get CENSORED or changed like almost all digital is.
