Re: 5G Replacing Home Services
It is for sure a dream to aspire to--the question is whether the existing players will embrace a true sense of change?

Re: 5G Replacing Home Services
How do you then envision the increased commodization of it all as to how all seem to be increasingly "Amazon'd" :)

Re: 5G Replacing Home Services
@mpouraryan, great perspective. That is a decision we can all make - to make things better or leave them the same; ignoring problems is a decision to leaving things the same.

Re: 5G Replacing Home Services
@mpouraryan, our markets are not centrally controlled so they go through cycles. When they become commoditized, that is not always a bad things, that just means there is a system in place that provides a major product or service - there is also the unique brand of Apple. But the customer will evaluate utilities and commodities - which are usually looking for the lowest price (ie Walmart). When they want brand or specific valued features they pay for those (ie Apple, Starbucks, etc.). But the customer creates the markets by their demands and choices in services and products; but no one controls the market.
That leaves the door open to "new" transformations and products/services that give customers new choices. When that succeeds you have a market demand. Note: No one controlled customers with Apple iPhones, or Facebook pages, or You Tube, or Netflix.

The Path to 5G
I am curious to se the roadmap for each company embarking on 5G. Will companies go from 4G to 4G Cat 4 to 4G LTE to 5G or go straight from 4G to 5G. I am happy with any increase in speed. I currently have 4G LTE is the speed is pretty fast. However, I would love to get faster speeds.

@mhhf1ve. I agree. I am not a fan of data caps. I suspect that commercial customers will not have data caps or will have the option to pay more to waive the data caps.

Data Caps
However, since the repeal of net neutrality, consumers willl probably be subjected to data caps. This will become a huge problem when streaming data especially with big events such as sporting events, political election updates, major natural disasters, major economic events, etc.

Impact of Data Caps
Advertisers place ads on search engines, apps and websites that stream data such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Data caps may result in a decrease in revenue since most consumers use Google or other search engines to view and search for information.

Re: 5G Replacing Home Services
@elizabethv. Good points. I agree. I don't want any data caps either. I still have cable so hopefully cable doesn't experience any issues in the future. We have fiber optics in my city but not in every neighborhood.

Satellite
When I saw the satellite images of my house and auto online I stopped being a fan of satellite. I don't like big brother watching me. I learned so much by reading the book Dragnet Nation that discusses the many ways the government and companies capture our information and watch our every move. It is frightening. I will stick with cable.
