Still not clear about the #5G Use Cases... And whether 5G is relevant when most of us work from home... 🤔

@lupyuen supposedly IOT, but i don't really see a must-have use-case which isn't covered by wifi (appliances), 4G (agricultural) or industrial (4G/wifi)..
@bonifartius I think 5G is targeted for street cameras with facial recognition. You agree? 😉
@lupyuen i haven't really thought about that. maybe then they finally have a reason for widespread camera rollout: "now that we have this fine 5G network, we've gotta use it!!1" :)
@bonifartius I'm probably crazy to say this... Maybe China created the demand for 5G because of facial recognition cameras? And now that we are all masked up... How will we sustain 5G? 🤔
@lupyuen but nobody buys their 5G equipment anymore out of fearing espionage, as if the other countries which produce such things (i don't know if any but the USA are left) would spy less 😁
i'm not sure if the demand for 5G is fabricated by china, since a few years ago politicians in europe were/are hyped for anything that gives them an edge over the dominance of the USA, including IOT, blockchain, really anything "cyber" 😉
@bonifartius I think that 5G hype died down when people realised that IoT isn't doing so well. Some telcos have already terminated their NB-IoT networks
@bonifartius Exactly! Such a shame that NB-IoT was never used to it's full potential... And I have another crazy theory: Politicians benefit from 5G because of the camera surveillance they will get. Maybe burning the 5G Base Stations wasn't a bad idea after all 😉
