          5G is barely being adapted around the world due to weak signal & easily blocked by a tree. I wonder if 6G is even gonna be weaker than 5G & can be blocked by a piece of paper?

                              too early to say who'll win this race smh.

                                    I am not sure if those who want 6G understand 5G limitations and drawbacks and how (if at all) those limitations could be mitigated. if you are reading this and thinking "5G limitations? what is this boomer talking about? go back to your 2G and wear a tinfoil hat!" - you are the reason why they put "AI" and "5G"(soon to be "6G") labels on everything

                                      To win 6G race, it's not about who's the first to build it but who's building MORE bases and towers that support it.. who else other than China!

                                      China won 5G race not because it was the first country to implement it but because now it has the most 5G infrastructure which will boost it to 6G and newer generations.

                                        Anonymous, 21 Feb 2023We? Who is We? I certainly want 6G. You can stay in the ... moreBrother its not moving forward. I'll talk scientific, so its the truth, alright?

                                        We don't have enough land and the way 5G is processing, we still need a heavy network of mobile towers to cover the public we have. Already there have been a lot of call drop and other problems underground or within buildings.
                                        We carry more data speed and bandwidth, moving forward we will need a tower every 1 mile (squared), and still we will remain out of network on highways and isolated spots.

                                        The more we're moving forward, the more we'll need a satellite system to feed them all. If 6G focuses on our traditional system, it will fail, because it will aim to carry above 1Tbps.

                                        This is just useless.
                                        All we really need is a better, cheaper Wifi network, and let telecom stay as it is in 4G, with improvements on security and reliability.
                                        All the development should now move to Wifi, make it travel using electricity lines, or something to use existing infrastructure.
