I'm excited for cable broadband to be fundamentally disrupted.
I was hopeful 5G would accomplish this. It has not. 5Ghaf gaudy numbers and hasn't produced meaningful real world advantages over 4g. Likewise 5g did not make for cheaper cell service.
5g did kill off lots of old 3g reliant services like car consoles.
And it sold a generation of unnecessary phone upgrades.
I'm sure the number one feature of 6G from the cell phone company point of view is lower cost for them a round of upgrades, and zero enhanced experience for the customer. Of course there's what only like two or three major carriers now. Hello cartel economics
I recently spent a month in Thailand which has very wide 5g coverage in cities. I noticed two things: it's not in any noticeable way faster or better then the 4g I get back home, and second, my battery life absolutely tanked. I usually get two days to a charge, it dropped to not even a full day, even half a day when I was using my phone heavily.

I suspect 5G is really for increased corporate iot nonsense, with even more devices unstoppably phoning home.
