Why you would need 5G?

Solid post.<p>&gt; <i>In the new world, you will take control of your health data — and decide who you share that data with.</i><p>This made me chuckle, because it&#x27;s utterly unrelated to 5G and entirely a function of laws, terms-of-service, and consumer power. But anyway,<p>&#x27;5G&#x27; right now is an idealized target of big-picture requirements like more bandwidth, efficiency, coverage, &#x27;more of everything&#x27;. You&#x27;ll need more actual fiber in the ground to get there [1][2]. But once we do, anything that vomits massive amount of data on the wire is a possible use-case.<p>Networked cars? Sure. Sensor data, healthcare, IoT? Live video, VR, AR? Yeah. Broadcast, even though we&#x27;ve had non-packet-switched-broadcast-networks-for-a-100-years? Why not, we have capacity!<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ciena.com&#x2F;connect&#x2F;blog&#x2F;5G-wireless-needs-fiber-and-lots-of-it.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ciena.com&#x2F;connect&#x2F;blog&#x2F;5G-wireless-needs-fiber-an...</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;backchannel.com&#x2F;the-next-generation-of-wireless-5g-is-all-hype-1790239b8ca8" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;backchannel.com&#x2F;the-next-generation-of-wireless-5g-i...</a>
