This is why we can't have unlimited internet.

simple solution ban -18 and 60+ from having wireless communications.
And driving a car

That was actaully really interesting

It's also why the UK and other European countries have, or are going to, turn off analog TV signals, so they can get a lot more bandwidth freed up.

The US has passed laws to switch from analog tv to digital (passed like 5 years ago, implemented 2 years ago ish) but I can still find analog channels here... as much as I love free stuff, the air tv around here sucks so bad we might as well just get rid of it... We need to develop better ways of transmitting so that frequency bleed doesn't occur so much... also, internet for computers should be all Ethernet anyway... well... i guess not laptops... gahhhh... anyway very informative video...
I do love having my unlimited data on verizon but the only reason I can do this is because my phone (wayyyyy back in the day) was through UNICELL (we had a bag phone when i was little that used our trucks frame as the antenna) and one of the contract things from when verizon bought them out was that they couldn't change the usage limits on renewed contracts
Side note, with me hogging up a crapton of bandwidth I usually do it in the hours with the least traffic 1-4am
new transmission methods are very needed...

You sadly can't stop frequency bleed, it's a physics thing and as scottie said "you cannae change the laws of physics" right before he accelerated the enterprise past light speed.
In order for a transmission to contain anything meaningful it has to be modulated, that process of modulation causes many harmonics (my memory is going but I think even pure frequencies suffer the same phenomenon)
The only way that there will be an increase in the data carrying capacity of RF energy is with new modulation techniques, or receivers capable of increased selectivity. QAM has been around for AGES!!! and in it's current guise being QAM256 it's capable of decent data rates but as the signal variations are so slight it's susceptible to noise/interference/drift/fade to name but a few of the challenges.
I don't know where the next giant leap in communications is coming from as it's all a bit muddy at the minute, there are some things happening with broadband satellites that's interesting with one manufacturer claiming similar latency over sat as is possible through the current fibre/copper network, but as I understand this is still QAM based multiplexing. Speeds will increase regardless of the congestion in the frequency spectrum but it will be due to better receiver discrimination, for a while anyway.
For speed also see bandwidth....................
