Well yeah. LTE was already at the theoretical limit of information transmitted per hertz. What were people expecting?



For everything to become incredibly amazing. 5G was more pumped than AI, especially in Europe. For some reason people kept mentioning robo-surgery as a use case...


There were two parts that were hyped: Lower latency, and mmWave. I think the self-driving cars and telesurgery kind of hype came from the lower latency part. Can't have a callcenter staff remote-drive a car that is stuck in some weird situation with 600ms ping.
