The best part about MQA bankruptcy..

What's the deal with charging extra to buy higher res, anyways?  Will tiny 44.1 files always be the going rate, and the higher it gets, the more we pay?  A 44.1 track is like the size of a video game in 1990 or something.  Puny.

Heh, Windows 95 is what the world wide web came right after.

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.
