I will agree with that as long as you add at the end "for now". More and more cordless phones are in the 5G band (including mine, so it won't clutter up my 2.4G network!), so the only real advantage is getting away from microwave ovens.... God only knows there must be some other evil lurking in 5G. They don't give out the "good" bands as unlicensed unless it is totally worthless for licensed use. And if perchance they -did- give out something that wasn't hampered by interference, dumping a ton of new electronics (alarm systems, phones, TV-relayer-thingies, etc) into the same mix will just mean in a few years 5G will be as polluted as 2.4G is... -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67882 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
