We might think that but it is serious. They want to own it all<br>
and there is a small cabal of operators owning the spectrum so<br>
little room for new competitors.<br>
<br>
Here's a project we did exploring some of the ambition<br>
https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2019-02-5g-mobile-augmented-reality-bath<br>
<br>
Previously we avoided the old Telco CDNs by sticking to regular<br>
Internet CDNs and building our own but edge compute (mobile CDN<br>
but a better name to compete with AWS) is more insidious as you<br>
may not be able to get the same result from CDNs out on the net.<br>
<br>
Either the content providers or the external CDNs they use will<br>
have to pay to use the mobile CDN. How they will scale that at all<br>
those sites will be interesting to see.<br>
<br>

<br>
If the mobile companies are providing the WiFi routers they can<br>
control it (see LTE WiFi attempt) and one day replace it with<br>
5G or 6G in all the things. If they make a better job of it than<br>
everyones devices fighting for 5GHz then they may succeed.<br>
