Anonymous, 09 Aug 2016Real unlimited data, without throttleI, too, hope someday, hopefully soon, REAL unlimited data plan will be realized. BUT, the reality is, that dream is nothing but pipe dream. The reason is, the operator will ALWAYS use the excuse of expensive infrastructure, expensive maintenance, and adding Fair Usage Policy (FUP) so ALL people subscribing their service can get the same HIGH SPEED, while in reality, those operator just don't want to spend any more money on the maintenance. This is ALWAYS TRUE, especially in developing countries, where 1GB data plan is SO DAMN EXPENSIVE, no matter whatever data transfer technology they use; 3G, 3.5G, or 4G.

                  If 5G appears and reflects these prognoses, then the major difference, from a user point of view, between 4G and 5G must be something other than faster speed (increased peak bit rate). For example, higher number of simultaneously connected devices, higher system spectral efficiency (data volume per area unit), lower battery consumption, lower outage probability (better coverage), high bit rates in larger portions of the coverage area, lower latencies, higher number of supported devices, lower infrastructure deployment costs, higher versatility and scalability, or higher reliability of communication. Those are the objectives in several of the research papers and projects below.

                    1) critisizing 'fragmentation' of technologies, kind of the way android fragmentation is critisized
                    2) highlighting that 5G is more a case of 'solution looking for a problem' rather than the other way around

                    It is beyond my capability to contradict your post. Maybe someone who is privy to long term vision of ICT - and how 4G is inadequate for that vision to be realized - can help here

                        _____________________________
                        My comments on the last infrastructure rollout. In most places uses the term 'LTE'; which I believe meant "Long Term Evolution"; no doubt many people signed off on it believing that we wouldn't require constant 'network infrastructure replacement'


                        Most studies into internet needs recognise we need a copper/cable/fibreoptic (insert 'non wireless' methods here) for primary data delivery, and wireless as supplemental network support.
                        ___________________________________
                        Independant reports found that the direction carriers are going in, attempting to deliver 'high speed delivery using the phone network' is not ideal, or the way forward.
                        Generally when being pitched at the 'board room level', or to government, they talk the sheer speed of the network (in ideal conditions, not congested). Only physical networks can achieve this. I believe with some types of fibre optics, (and other methods) replacing equipment at the exchange or node, would allow every increasing speed/bandwidth delivery.


                        In my country various attempts at using the combination have been or are being implemented (one phone carrier allowing people to connect wirelessly to other peoples' hard lines as everybody 'wants' wireless in their households, and the tech is there anyway.. the condition they tried to impose is that in order to take it from others, your house must also give it... it knocks about 10% speed off the throughput for the household, made available to others)

                        How this may eventually affect 'us' as phone buyers


                        Don't get me wrong, I love cheap phones. But cheap phones, like all others, should be built to last, and possibly just have less 'wank' in them.
                        _______________________________
                        Sharing of my opinion on current market directions issue (building cheap 'high end' phones if they are not built to last,.. eg Apple/HTC/Motorola do build high end flagships with software support designed to last;, Samsung I am not so sure about (hardware maybe, definately not at a software level), Sony presently have a software support issue for old devices based on forum I read, and their new flagships are nothing on the Z line; although Executives acknowledge that the Z line is not put to pasture, and having turned a profit, they might be allowed to give us 'gold' again )



                        Anyhow, I buy Samsung due to their typically low SAR. I believe they are one of the few companies that got on board to 'directional antennas' when the hearing aid scrambling was a threat and the US government finally allowed it.
                        ___________________________________
                        My reason for enduring with Samsung even though they intentionally try to bury their old hardware (it would seem) through lack of software support.
                        The 'hearing aid' reference is due to the change in US regulations that finally allowed phones 'directional' antennaes; They realised omnidirectional antennaes might output too much power into peoples digital hearing aids, being a 'far from symbiotic relationship'.

                                      We can't get 4G on every mobile phone work everywhere and they already are working on 5G. I just don't understand why would anyone want such fast mobile internet speeds. I mean mobile internet is expensive and what we have now is much more than we actually need. Can someone tell me the reason for 5G? It's going to increase internet costs, won't be available in most places for a few years. For what? Internet speed which we don't need as much anymore?
