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.

          Didn't we learn our lesson from 5g?

          How we shouldn't create standards via wish-list instead of technical capability and set arbitrary dates for introduction.

              If it was, we all would have cancer from visible light, actually scratch that, we would all have cancer from eachother because human body emitts infrared light, which also is form of non-ionising radiation and yet is stronger form of radiation then 5g

                        Being the first is also will create other opportunities
                        Like electronic cash system where they need stable internet.
                        Or self-driving car
                        Or perhaps a better phone games
                        All in all, being the first bring opportunity to find the use of technology.

                            They are now in the race to be the first to successfully launch 6G. Meanwhile my country's 4g and even 5g network is incapable of meeting the demand. Perks of living in a poor country.

                            Well, there is a benefit for the corporation or company who has set the standard for a technology. The first mover advantage of standard is very advantageous since it MAY dictate the direction of the market and pave way for the mass adoption of THAT company's tech, in turn, give them a bigger leverage to have a bigger income.

                              They are certainly the first to boast about thinking of doing it.
