And why on earth should we not benefit from a high-speed mobile 5G network for watching TV or Netflix endlessly, wherever we are? Why is my phone still unable to provide advanced options for augmented and virtual reality? Oh, and I would just love to have an advanced virtual personal assistant on my smartphone who can go beyond suggesting a good restaurant or scheduling an appointment for me…
