5G roadblock: labor

Tue Dec 31 14:02:08 UTC 2019

Phones aren't the only devices supported by mobile networks. There are many
other devices. My laptop for example has a 4G SIM card, as does my MiFi.
Sometimes my phone needs to be used as a hotspot to support multiple
devices.

All of these are based on current use cases, ignoring use cases that will
become available in the future based on the ability to support higher
bandwidths.
