So there is a really important feature of 5G, that became much less relevant this past pandemic: Being able to handle a much higher density of devices. 5g gives much better phone usage during sporting events, big celebrations like NYE, etc. Not the most relevant use case right now, but my understanding was that was one of the big drivers.
5g gives much better phone usage during sporting events...
Yes, because after selling a kidney to get tickets, parking a 20-minute walk away, and spending $37 on two beers to come watch a live sporting event, the most important thing, is phone usage.
Yup. I get why it's a "relevant usage case". Narcissism is a helluva drug.
