    I can already burn through my entire wireless data limit in minutes. What is the point in it being faster without data being cheaper? At least from a users perspective and not someone who owns a telecommunications company.

      @IzzyData @yogthos lower cost is important if wireless applications were to expand, better coverage is important too. It was little advertised that 5G infrastructure was supposed to cost less than 4G infrastructure because it broke the industry model of 5G being the new shiny that you have to pay $X more a month… the same model that killed 3D movies.
