I'm not sure I understand the idea. How is my laptop or desktop going to get internet access this way? Am I going to have to buy a PCI card or USB antenna for each computer? Right now I get 100 Mbps down with no data cap via a cable provider. Trading for a system with antennas on every device , lower speeds, and probably metered sounds like one hell of a downgrade.

- bscphil 7y agoWell, right, that's what I would have assumed. But parent said the reason consumers like the idea of wireless is that you don't need a modem or router, that's what I found confusing about it.
- nwah1 7y agoThere's already a lot of 4G enabled notebooks and tablets, and basically all phones. I could easily see that eating 80% of the market. 60% or more of web traffic is already on mobile devices, so the only question is whether 5G will become a standard feature for new notebooks. Sure, you could buy a 4G/5G router, but for average consumers that may be a thing of the past. At least, that seems to be the direction that every major player in every relevant industry is gearing up for.
