Re: White Box
I think it's becasue the cloud has become so fundamental -- so basic.
At this point, it would almost be like asking: "What will be most important for mankind's continuing to thrive over the next decade?" with "Food" presented as an option among various scientific advances.
Re: Is it really the Big Prize?
The tech world has been trying to do away with the OS (or, at least, minimize it) for years. (Remember NCs in the '90s? No? Nobody else does either.)

Perhaps AT&T is simply assuming that consumers want something straight out of the box and not understanding that this is a new generatition understands more and would rather have something that works better than is easier.

I think you have more faith in Millennials than AT&T and I do. ;)

Re: 5G?
I'm not sure if we'll be wanting 8G by 2026.... Look at how long it has taken us to get from 4 to 5G. Maybe looking ahead to it, but I doubt it will actually be a thing by 2026. For some people, the concept of 5G still seems pretty mesmorizing. (And technically, since it isn't even really available, that's understandable.) From the point of view of a typical consumer, not a techy, the possibilities of 5G might seem pretty unreal. A think most people just use their phones to enjoy them, and the latest advances don't really catch on until more knowledgeable people have paved the way for the advancements.
Do you have any thoughts about what even 6G might look like, for the typical consumer? Just curious.
Re: 5G?
That's a good point, Elizabeth. I suspect that by that point, we might be looking at entirely new technology.
On the other hand, ten years isn't really that far away.

Re: 5G?
Good points.
Yes, it seems very unlikely that we'll be able to move that fast in 2026, but you never know. I agree, however that 5G is something that many people, including myself, is enchanted by. It seems so much more powerful and advanced than 4G.
I'm excited to see where 5G goes and how much longer it will take to even move past 5G. Right now though 5G seems like an incredible feat.

Re: Is it really the Big Prize?
@Joe Stanganelli I could not agree more but also in my mind AT&T does still have few good cards left...

Re: 5G?
@dlr5288 I would say 5G is the new future - here to stay... it only need time :)

Re: 5G?
@elizabethv Good solid point, I could not agree more... but how I see it this is the way of technology race we are in :).... what ever we wants it or not...
