Can you explain what specifically about 5G makes this possible? I don't know anything about it, but if the logistics and pricing for it are anything like 4G, I have no interest in paying my telecom an extra $5/mo per device when I can throw them on my own network for free.
- TylerE 7y agoBecause potentially "your network" goes away. You have no home-based "line". I'm skeptical, very, but the appeal is obvious if it works and the pricing isn't obscene.
- viraptor 7y agoThe pricing will be higher than 4G. The data caps will stay similar. Carriers are not charities and don't operate at cost - if they can charge us for extra value, they will.

- omni 7y agoWhy don't I have a home-based line? Are routers illegal now or something? Are the receivers locked down and proprietary? Is someone taking my computer away?
