so many people saying "its hard to make a modem" but nobody has anything to say about why its hard
8 years ago looking at the state of AMD, Intel, IBM, and every other CPU fab would lead some people to say "well yeah making a processor is extremely hard", yet these days amazon and google literally make their own and there are tons of riscv startups. not saying making a modem is easy but sometimes there are other roadblocks in technology, like bad management wasting money
Like not getting your ass sued off for violating some patent that some troll somewhere owns.
Wht y there are so many of patents related to modems, but not on other things like cpu, gpu or idk what
