Re: Fragmented markets
@Michelle I think it also related how video get encoded as in some cases even with good speed you must have a correct player what support video stream speed and encoding...

Re: Fragmented markets
So really, any specification that shows up on a screen will be accepted as ok so long as the video plays! I hadn't thought of that as an indicator of speed, but it makes good sense. I see 3G in some buildings and I cannot play video ;)

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.....

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