When the wireless industry killed the best innovation we had, ultra-wideband, that killed a lot of potential.

Hey but what do i know....

If course it was limited to a couple hundred feet. You might see this in the top ten cities where half the population is and where density isn't an issue, or at least not from the cost standpoint. Really to much density is the issue there.

Of course I wouldn't want to live in an apartment building broadcasting at those powers either.. I'd have a nice suntan. http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/10/5g-mobile-broadband-may-use-71ghz-spectrum-to-hit-multi-gigabit-speeds/ 4G (fourth generation cellular technology) LTE in the US relies on frequencies from 700MHz to 2.5GHz, with the lower frequencies being best suited for covering long distances and penetrating building walls. The FCC's vote today proposes new "flexible use service rules in the 28GHz, 37GHz, 39GHz, and 64-71GHz bands," and seeks public comment on other bands above 24GHz that could also be used.
