Many of the frequencies they’ve allotted are just not feasible without the access point being in the same room as you. Long term I see it as less of a replacement for 4G lte and more of a replacement for WiFi. The idea is that you’re going to pay one cell phone bill for all of your devices if you want to get them online. I don’t know anyone stupid enough to pay for a SIM card for their personal iPad currently, because you’d prefer to tether off your phone instead of paying $10 a month. But in the future you might see people drop their home internet and just go with SIM cards in everything.

> But in the future you might see people drop their home internet and just go with SIM cards in everything. I mean, maybe, but more likely to just be a 5G modem with wifi/ethernet, like has been available with LTE. I've got one with a $5/month plan as backup for my DSL, because my DSL is unreliable, and the local cable company doesn't service my house, and municipal fiber installation is unsubsidized and the actual installtion costs are too high, IMHO.
