Here we are: The wireless vendors were happy developing an selling networks 3G and (4G-LTE) for voice and some data on the side and the operators were happy too.



Until they were hit by the curve ball. All those terminals in the hands of the operators customer are accessing content. Content seating on Google Amazon and Facebook datacenters. Then they, vendors and operators alike, discovered: we need to be part of Cloud computing! And here they are: developing 5G trying to catch up.



I am here -thinking latency- waiting for them to scrap their microwave backhaul and build fiber.



Now there's another 5-7 years before 5G happens, if it ever happens (I doubt it). The GSMA killed WiMAX, but they can't kill Wi-Fi.



Meanwhile, even Facebook is doing WiGig... So Wi-Fi is happening. It's not about telco standards any more - that's a dying process.
