This blog post is negative, unimaginative, and misinformed. One major factual error is the author's understanding of fixed 5G service, which is already offered by Verizon using what they call 5G TF (Technical Forum). They will be able to upgrade all related hardware for 5G NR (New Radio) once the standard has been set in stone.
Cars being able to get new information within milliseconds about things that happened distant from it, but on its course, will be useful.
AR outside the home could be incredibly useful, if provided with low latency and high bandwidth over 5G.
- JohnFen 8y agoI don't think 5G TF can really be considered 5G.
- beams_of_light 8y agoWhy?
- JohnFen 8y agoBecause it's a proprietary Verizon standard that is different from and not compatible with the standard that the 5G committee is producing. Verizon is being a bit deceptive in using the "5G" designation for this. It reminds me of when US telecoms started calling their non-4G systems "4G" for marketing purposes.
