Re: Fragmented markets
As I was reflecting upon the discourse here, my mind drifted to Palestine as I reviewed reporting about how 3G has come to Palestine after pressure from the United States. How, somehow, we seem to forget where we've been and make sure we constantly press for the positive. Whether that's feasible or not is another question. as I hope all enjoy this as I have been catching #Davos2018 session with great fascinat9ion--a must listen for all of us constantly reflecting and assessing transformation:

Re: 5G Fiber Race
Big corporations like Verizon and the Comcast are very good at compartmentalizing. They compete in some markets and cooperate in others. I doubt that Roberts loses much sleep over that, except when two of his lines-of-business are bickering about it in his office.

Re: Fragmented markets
That's a very interesting perspective. I wonder if consumers will pay much attention to 5G at all. Do you think consumer expectations will match the technology's capability?

Re: Fragmented markets
It is my opinion that it will take a while for the average Joe to realize the benefits of 5G even if they are experiencing them. For the most part I don't think that 5G will get attention on the consumer level early on.

Re: Fragmented markets
Do you know of any non-tech people that talk about cell networks? I'm thinking back to the hype about 4G LTE. I have never spoken to any regular person (not working in tech) about network technology...have you?

Re: Fragmented markets
I think there was a little buzz at that time because there was some confusion as we went from 3G to 4G to LTE and people were curious about what LTE was. I think I remember a friend of mine who I trusted at this stuff at the time tell me that LTE was going to cost soooo much more.
Re: Fragmented markets
@Michelle: I suspect that the consumer-level of understanding -- marketing-driven, to be sure -- will amount to not much more than the fact that it's a whole G higher.
Which, to be fair, is about representative of the understanding of a lot of industry pundits, too. ;)

Re: Fragmented markets
Haha.
The version number is higher, therefore the end product is improved. Got it!

Re: 5G Fiber Race
I agree! I think they both really focus on the big picture and what things will move them forward in the future.

Re: Fragmented markets
Few people know what LTE is or does or how it's related to 4G wireless. It's just a mysterious acronym near the signal strength bars at the top of your phone that tells you whether or not you can stream video.....
