Back in April I wrote a piece lamenting the ruckus that ensues any time the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) deigns to add another “G” to the myriad of confusion surrounding cellular standards. Well, the silliness continues, and now someone (likely someone who isn’t actually in this business) decided that 5G is a race, and a race the U.S. must win!
Those of us who have lived through a few of these generational changes have learned to take these flights of fancy — with their whirling visions of self-driving vehicles, augmented reality, Internet of Things (IoT) devices under every rock, and even doctors performing robotic surgery — in stride.
