Watching TV on 5G mobile?

YouTube TV service and Apple TV or Google Chromecast are included with Verizon's initial 5G residential broadband launch. https://www.verizonwireless.com/5g/home/

So 5G has disrupted the traditional way of watching TV.
Do you think it will be the new trend of watching TV?

  • I think 5G will become an important part of the mix in delivering television type content.  Video already makes up the majority of broadband data traffic and this will continue to increase, putting more strain on all parts of the network so even for fixed locations 5G is likely to play a significant role, and when the viewer is out and about the mobile delivery nature of 5G (assuming the coverage is good enough - it is really irritating to fall off the edge of a usable cell!) will be really valuable.  It's not clear though whether there are extra charges in this case for getting the video and thus using more bandwidth, since after the first few months an additional $40/month charge appears to kick in.
