How dare I say that??
Consider the PROs:
Now Consider the CONs:
Analysis:
So on balance, which impacts the market more strongly? In IMO, the CONs and thus the consumer will be disgruntled by over-hyped expectations, overly priced devices and too little delivery.
So -- feel free to contribute to the debate ...
Consider the PROs:
- High download speeds and low latency, touted to benefit gamers.
- New Use Cases for iOT devices
- Better conjestion control for high connection rates to single end-point.
Now Consider the CONs:
- Regardless of the cell provider you choose, the range from you to the cell tower is greatly reduced -- frequently to 100-200 meters (aka one city block).
- At 5Ghz, the RF signal is susceptible to all kinds of interferrence, even rain. Current test have shown that just turning your back to the tower can induce a fallback.
- New investment(s) in devices which support the technology.
Analysis:
Doubtful that gamers will be playing on mobile devices as they want HD screens. So unless you live in an urban, hi-density area with a cell tower on the corner, you will not see the fulfillment of highspeed downloads at home.
Conjestion control woud be a great feature at large events, such as the U.S. Open, Wimbledon, Indianapolis 500, Kentucky Derby, Rose Bowl, ... you get the point ... but these are all one-time events and without a ticket, so what?
So on balance, which impacts the market more strongly? In IMO, the CONs and thus the consumer will be disgruntled by over-hyped expectations, overly priced devices and too little delivery.
So -- feel free to contribute to the debate ...
