Yeah, my thought exactly. People like to talk about how 5G will eliminate the need for wired internet because there will be 5G stations on every block, even on every building! I don't know if they simply assume it will be wirelessly repeated or they just haven't really thought about it too hard.
- rocqua 8y agoThe main value of 5G as opposed to WiFi is that it comes with an entire system for roaming over different networks. WiFi has no built-in system for authentication across different operators, no system for accounting usage, no system for ensuring trust. This is what 3gpp brings. Their systems are hopelessly convoluted, and have some issues. However, it works.
