Five years out, but it looks exciting! Gigabit speeds and services for IoT devices on super low power.
I can see them using home or neighborhood nodes for this, dumping or transporting across wired networks more and more. So you’ll take a 5G device and peer it with your cell phone provider and your fixed internet provider with seamless failover. Phones and devices will use local transport as much as possible before using tower infrastructure, but you won’t know or care about the difference. And by ‘you’ I mean the customer, not the ISP, lol! ISPs will get into a huge battle with the cell phone carriers where they are not providing both. Maybe, just maybe, we meter all bandwidth and can finally charge the customer or the cell carrier for transport across the ISP. If that happens then we would have the means for the same for Netflix and other content providers, I think.
