Confused and unexcited
Confused and unexcited about 5G, Matt gets three tech experts to try and convince him that he really should care.
Topics covered include misleading marketing, conspiracy theories, where we'll be in five to ten years, how faster uploads will allow tech journalists to drink more and perhaps most important of all - is it possible to make rural infrastructure sound sexy?
John McCann muses a re-brand, saying "if 5G is forever going to be related to Corona and Bill Gates controlling people... then the sooner 6G comes round the better for publicity", as Mr Mobile is fearful of the future as 5G may only get good "right in time for holographic communications to eat up all that bandwidth."
Meanwhile Alex Dobie asks the big question; "are you excited about rural infrastructure?"
