How will the 5G network change the world?The global race is on to develop 5G, the fifth generation of mobile network. While 5G will follow in the footsteps of 4G and 3G, this time scientists are more excited. They say 5G will be different - very different.
...
5G will also run faster, a lot faster.
Prof Tafazolli now believes it is possible to run a wireless data connection at an astounding 800Gbps - that's 100 times faster than current 5G testing.
When Samsung announced in 2013 it was testing 5G at 1Gbps, journalists excitedly reported that a high-definition movie could be downloaded in less than half a minute.
A speed of 800Gbps would equate to downloading 33 HD films - in a single second.
http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-30224853 we are all interested in this tech, but what hurts me the most is that i cant have a flatrate option on my mobile devices, on any of the available providers.
recently i was in germany for bussiness, and hoped things are better there, but it was basicaly the same, no flatrate option either.
So, while the speed is obviously important, why are people not more pro flatrate, rather than just pro speed?
It comes to me the same, having 2-5 mbit and 800 mbit, i dont need it, i need flatrate options, and noone is providing them, its better and more profitable for them to charge by data traffic,
thus increasing speed is more or less their way of earning more..
tech is awesome, but companies are terrible exploiting it.
cheers
