I’m thinking with 4G, 5g, one day 6g and one day 7g, physical data infra’s days are numbered or will become a premium product at the residential level.
Except in Canada and elsewhere where the mobile and wireline providers are the same and deliberately keep mobile pricing high enough to disincentivize cord cutting.

- Scoundreller 3y agoEach "g" let us modulate more data in the same channel size. Spectrum re-use via smaller cells is virtually limitless. And we're re-allocating more spectrum for 2-way data regularly.
