Phones aren't the only devices supported by mobile networks. There are many other devices. My laptop for example has a 4G SIM card, as does my MiFi. Sometimes my phone needs to be used as a hotspot to support multiple devices. All of these are based on current use cases, ignoring use cases that will become available in the future based on the ability to support higher bandwidths.

I figured someone would bring that likely misquote out at some point. I say likely misquote because there is no evidence that he actually said it. Now... now very, very few have any "need" for 25 megabit/s via mobile service to their phone. You would be hard-pressed to find an actual need for more than 5 megabit/s to a phone and yet in most areas, you can get well into double-digits on your phone with existing technology and infrastructure. Hell, I can often get over 100 megabit/s on my phone. Seems to work for me. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com ------------------------------ *From: *"Sabri Berisha" <sabri () cluecentral net> *To: *"Brian J.
