We do now too… it’s called WiFi 😅
WiFi being in the microwave range of the spectrum, surely it packs information much more densely and efficiently than lower wavelength frequencies like radio ever can.
But then WiFi can't turn a goddamned corner and into another room ten yards away.
Yeah I'm really confused why people keep saying it's the same thing. It's not, aside from being over-the-air at some point in the transmission.
