Best thing since sliced bread? If Anything this fundamentally solve the Mobile TV problem. or Heck all Internet Connection problem with one go. No more silly ADSL Phone line or Cable Modem which are far worst then today's LTE. It would get rid of Home Router as well, as long as all of our Mobile Devices have LTE. I cant wait to pay for it.

And it seems we move the bottleneck to the cell backbone. Which could get saturated easily.




Until a mobile connection will reach the speed and stability of my 100Mbps cable connection some time will pass i guess. It also would need to be unmetered as right now the max i can get for LTE in Germany is 30-50GB for home connections. I know its just a matter of when, but still...


It properly still wouldn't be unmetered ( Or it could be in less dense population ). But the Cap could be much higher then what we are getting now. The reason why we are all capped at this moment is exactly what pCell is trying to solve. Sharing of Spectrum. The current LTE could already do 300Mbps, and with the accuracy of pCell there is no reason not to believe you cant get faster then 100Mbps in real world. Which is like i said, you dont really need your Wired Internet Line anymore.
