5G is – surprise, surprise – dominating this year's Mobile World Congress [MWC] as more emphasis is heaped on how non-telco vertical sectors can use the fledgling technology.
Unlike 4G or any previous cellular generation, 5G aims to cover a wider set of use cases from the outset: not only enhanced mobile broadband, but also massive machine-type communications and ultra-reliable low latency applications. The new capabilities could broaden cellular-based networks to potential new users, particularly in vertical industries from automotive to factory automation.
To achieve that, the telecom sector is seeking input from other verticals on 5G use cases and technical requirements that will help them to shape standards. During the last 18 months to two years, the telecom industry has been urging vertical sectors to get involved and there are now signs of engagement.

he's a consumer with a consumer view. gaming doesnt mean IT expert -- it used to mean the guy had a chance to be a whiz kid, but young male gamers are now among the most clueless of users there are, instead of their moms as it used to be when they first got onto AOL.
they might be able to show you how to install free apps or something, but they wont be fixing anyones computer. infecting it yes, fixing it no.
then theyll blame poor optimization and coil whine and high ping times in no particular order
