We are. But we are also separate and distinct from the unwashed masses.

The average consumer has no clue what any of the following terms
mean, despite spending a lot of money on them:
WiFi, 4G, 5G, LTE, modem, router, satellite, server
And the industry is happy to keep them stupid, for example
defining “unlimited” as “throttled after 22 GB”. The latest I saw
is Qualcomm wanting people to think their phones will soon have
gigabit download speeds. Mobile carriers of course don’t sell
speed plans, they sell data plans, and manufacturers like Qualcomm
conflate sector capacity with end user speed. As well as
neglecting to explain that all that unlicensed spectrum will only
be used for urban small cells, not the celltower 5 miles from your
house in the country.

Now the first wifi is called 5G. And who is the marketing winner:
mimosa.
But of course air-„fiber“ is not bad, too.
Both companies should move some sales guys to the engineering
staff to make their
Ptmp wifi gear gps work before claiming the next big thing.
