There's some classic Tim curmudgeonry right there! Is he complaining about the hype or the tech? There's a continuum between "5G is an unneeded upgrade pushed by [insert conspiracy theory here]" and "5G is an essential new invention that will significantly improve our lives." The truth is somewhere in the middle, and in my opinion, leans much more towards the latter. I was pitching Vodafone business customers in Spain on the power of the coming 3G revolution back in 2001. The stuff we were selling as "coming next year" wouldn't be commercial products until over a decade later, and required the invention of the iPhone in between. That's just how it has worked for decades now. This isn't a surprise.
