I'd been thinking that 5G is a thing only because the IOT is a thing. It had nothing to do with phones, but the build-out is funded by phones. So when it all settles down, phones will be as slow as they were in the 3G era, at best, what with so much stuff clamoring for data.

Plain Jane HTML is going to save us.

I've seen this with my telco provider with 5G, full bars and it is still almost unusable. replace people with IOT devices pinging and sending tiny messages constantly it's gonna be rough :)
