4G is perfectly fine for that, but if I Street watching a 40 minute video before I go on the tube, I can’t finish once underground
- wideasleep1 7y agoThat is the promise of faster networks. Static content would no longer need 'streaming', as in caching these bit chunks...you would simply get the entire segment, and the device would deliver it to you at the appropriate 'speed'.
