FF please keep us posted on your 5G internet experience. This can be a viable and economical alternative for many users, and of course the only service available to some. T-Mobile has recently rolled out its 5G internet in my area and many people are reporting excellent results. Although I've muttered complaints about Comcast for years, I've always acknowledged that at least in my corner of the woods, the company has an excellent network and they promptly attend to correcting their network problems, including underground cables. Still, T-Mobile would save me a lot of $$$$ each month ...

As for the limit Hulu is setting on location changes, that's not the consequence of federal law or regulation. It's a result of OTA broadcasters switching their model from invoking "must carry" rules to earning revenue from carrier license fees. So this is a problem the broadcasters can resolve and, as wireless internet becomes more commonplace, it looks like something they are going to have to fix. One resolution used by some devices is to use GPS to establish your Designated Market Area. That requires the user to grant permission for the device to use GPS to access its location. Apparently not all streaming devices offer that option.
