4.5 birds in the hand are worth 5 in the bush.
I think they have the right idea. While AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile are bragging about their 5G plans -- which, realistically, aren't going to be fully realized any time soon -- Qualcomm and Huawei have been working on something a bit simpler and still much faster and better than we have now. If the speed and quality differences are substantial enough and that can be demonstrated as a big selling point, expect substantial market share shifts.

What you say as "filling a gap" is what I view as disruption--yes although they are a "Sprint reseller", but they have created a niche that in my view has forced folks to "adjust their strategy--that's why I submit the 2 year contract is gone, there are more "friendlier" terms on Equipment & other things--we have scratched the surface on it.

@mhhf1ve - Thanks for the head's up on Google Loon, which I had to...errr...Google, but I had never heard of it. This is downright amazing - and it doesn't surprise me at all the pilot was in New Zealand where the Wifi is fast and nearly everywhere. I island hopped for two weeks two years ago and frankly their 4G put the one in the US to shame.

4.5G vs 5G
It will be interesting to see which network will work better. The 4.5G or the 5G. Even though the 5G network I don't see being run for a few years, I'm interested in seeing how the 4.5G will compare.
I can see the pay off in waiting for the 5G, but I also see why having the 4.5G can be beneficial. Espcially if it's faster and the connection is more relaible than the 4G. I just hope the payoff of the 5G will be worth it.

@vnewman:
Very good point with Geographical boundaries and limitation.
