I think this absurdly specific hypothetical building is getting in the way my point, which is simply that we humans have an increasing number of networked devices on and around us, and ~10 devices is already common for some people.

I don't think that's what people intuitively understand/mean when they talk about "devices/m²". It's not like a device on the 15th floor messes with another on the 5th floor...
- veidr 11y agoYeah, I know, but that's the specific calculation I was replying to — icebraining's figure of people per square meter of land. This subthread veered off from the original linked post about broadband speed in general to discuss how upcoming "5G" cellular service is expected[1] to support 100 devices per square meter - that means per square meter of coverage area, regardless of how many floors are stacked up on that square meter. E.g., Mbps/m². [1]: http://spectrum.ieee.org/telecom/wireless/telecom-experts-plot-a-path-to-5g http://spectrum.ieee.org/telecom/wireless/telecom-experts-pl...
