4G definitions are still largely being fought over, and you&#x27;re gonna try and jam &quot;5G&quot; down my throat?<p>The entire article is complete speculation, and the sad part is that they don&#x27;t even talk about the cooler ideas they&#x27;re coming up with for the specification.<p>For anyone wondering about 5G I think the coolest thing they&#x27;ve discussed so far is breaking down the different use cases (people in home, people traveling on trains, vs working in an office building) because these put completely different types of strain on a network. They&#x27;re trying to come up with sub specifications to encompass more types of network use cases rather than thinking &quot;xG is for cellular phones&quot; it&#x27;ll be more like 5Gx is spectrum&#x2F;protocol for home internet, 5Gy is the spectrum&#x2F;protocol the phone uses. Although from a marketing prospective this will sound like &quot;Bring 5G to your home.&quot;<p>Honestly I&#x27;m surprised that didn&#x27;t happen with 4G, I know there are things like Clearwire (I think they were bought by sprint?) but it wasn&#x27;t a huge move from physical infrastructure.<p>For some more realistic info on what&#x27;s happening:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ngmn.org&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;media&#x2F;NGMN_5G_White_Paper_V1_0.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ngmn.org&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;media&#x2F;NGMN_5G_White_Paper_V1_0....</a><p>EDIT:<p>On a small note, this is &quot;finalized&quot; pdf but in reality it will change when implementation occurs.
