Forget 5G

Yep, 5G. The service that will come to the densely populated cities "soon" and the suburbs a few years after that. The distant suburbs as few years later and the places RVers like to go will get 5G somewhere between 10 years and never.

5G ?.
I'm still waiting for 4K broadcast TV. :(

streaming?

OH.. IMDB now has a new ad supported Streaming Movie service. YOu can log in using your GOOGLE, Facebook or other account. No charge.. You get an E-mail to confirm your address.

I registered. but. alas. I have more OTA TV than I can watch so I don't know how much I'll use the streaming service .

IMDB is now streaming? Seems like quite a leap from their core product line. Does Google now own IMDB?

That's likely true. 5g should be wide spread in about 10 years and have true Nationwide coverage (except rural which will never have it) in about 20 years.

I'm happy with 4G LTE and don't care to spend $$$ for newer phones.

They did a study a while back to access the impact of 5G on most people. The results: Not much. Sure you can download a movie in a second or two, but that doesn't mean folks will watch more movies. Sure it will be nice to have that speed, but the real impact will be more in the commercial area. Military, self driving cars, robotic surgery from a continent away. That kind of stuff.

All I want to have is decent cell service that works.... who cares what G it is. Millions don't even have reliable service right now.
