Sorry, 'I don't suspect any new lines of business to come out of this.' is akin to '640K of memory should be enough for anybody' (falsely attributed to Gates)

Sorry, 'I don't suspect any new lines of business to come out of this.' is akin to '640K of memory should be enough for anybody' (falsely attributed to Gates) There's a lot of speculation of what new lines of business and evolving lines of business spring from 5G capabilities. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-16/south-korea-s-embrace-of-5g-may-usher-in-an-era-of-robot-friends https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-16/south-kor... Other areas just off top of my head: Mobile gaming including Mobile VR, Autonomous Vehicles where lower latency promised by 5G is critical, and replacement of wired data services with wireless.

Mobile gaming and autonomous vehicles are already developing industries and will develop irrespective of the availability of 5G. We're already not close to utilizing the full bandwidth power of LTE for example.

  My Oculus Quest might well be soon saturating my 4G with h.265 or h.264 encoded VR streams; teleporting me and others all over.

> Mobile gaming including Mobile VR This will be a tiny market for the foreseeable future, 5G or not. > Autonomous Vehicles where lower latency promised by 5G is critical Far from critical, autonomous vehicles that require network connectivity at all are a terrible idea. > replacement of wired data services with wireless. Why is this a big deal?
