It may be worse for the end user but it's great for corporations. Samsung could sell you a smart TV with built-in 5G so that it can always serve you ads even if you never connect it to your wi-fi.
- selcuka 4y agoCan't they already do this now? Is 5G necessary?
- kunagi7 4y agoWell, they can just stuff a 5G NB-IoT modem inside of newer TVs, using eSIMs received by OTA (either WiFi or a previous valid eSIM). As long as the manufacturer foots the eSIM bill (and it's profitable) they can serve ads.
- mlindner 4y agoOr better yet, serve you ads when you're not using the TV where it randomly comes on from time to time and displays an image ad and then turns off again.
- indy 4y agoYes, and not just TVs but any piece of electronic equipment with 5G built-in will be capable of serving ads and sending usage information back without needing access to the user's WiFi or router
