- ksec 3y agoExactly. Even if you exclude all the non- Smartphone usage of 5G or 3GPP Rel 18, it is still 50-100x more complex than Pre-3G era. 99.999% of HN have little to no appreciation of Hardware. And very little understanding of the complexity in WiFi or 5G. We are streaming our face in high quality video in near real time over a wireless cell tower that is simultaneously being used by 10s of thousands of people. And yet all we got on HN was 4g and 5G are shit.
