    I would still love to know the logic behind this. Why on earth would you ever need 5G? Maybe by 2020 it will be relevant, but I kind of doubt it.

    I'm sorry I just don't see it. If you want to do anything worth using 5G, you'll eat up your whole data amount in a matter of moments. I'm just not a big data user so I guess I don't get it, but I don't see the point unless the data caps are raised substantially.
