World Largest Telecom Company

The pressures of IoT on top of our insatiable desire for streaming video will absolutely decimate 4G LTE. (Seriously, 3.25 BILLION hours of video is watched every month on YouTube alone. That’s about 400,000 years, in case you were wondering). And according to Gartner, 20.8 billion devices will be connected to the internet by 2020. That’s a lot of YouTube-ing, Netflix-ing, and IoT-ing, and the fifth generation (sixth, if you’re counting LTE) of wireless is being built to handle it. 5G is projected to be about 10x faster than 4G, with download speeds around 10 GBPS.
So how exactly does building all this new infrastructure benefit carriers? Well, all the IoT services they are banking on will not work without it, for one. The consumer revolt that is going to occur when 4G inevitably falls flat would be rather unpleasant as well.
Testing of 5G has just begun and it won’t be available until 2020, so hopefully WiFi will help fill in the gaps until then.

Integration with Content

It has been said more than once, “one or more communication service providers will be acquired by content providers by 2020.” Well, it is 2016 and it is starting to seem like the CSPs are the ones doing the acquiring. AT&T bought DirecTV in 2014, Verizon has absorbed both AOL and Yahoo!, Comcast bought NBC, and Time Warner just bought a 10% stake in one-time arch enemy of the cable company, Hulu. With the Amazons, Rokus, and Netflixes of the world snatching up more and more cable customers by the day, it only makes sense that CSPs get into the content game themselves. The strategy of most CSPs seems to be owning the content, so however it is consumed, they still derive revenue from it (and user data). Verizon’s strategy is a bit different, in that its acquisitions seem to be even more focused massive amount of user data it provides and the ad network that can be built from it.

  1. Look at the way my colleague Wesley Virgin's story launches with this SHOCKING and controversial video.

    As a matter of fact, Wesley was in the military-and soon after leaving-he unveiled hidden, "SELF MIND CONTROL" secrets that the government and others used to get anything they want.

    These are the EXACT same tactics tons of famous people (especially those who "come out of nowhere") and elite business people used to become wealthy and famous.

    You've heard that you use less than 10% of your brain.

    Mostly, that's because the majority of your BRAINPOWER is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Maybe this expression has even taken place INSIDE your own mind... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's mind seven years ago, while riding an unlicensed, garbage bucket of a car without a driver's license and with $3.20 on his debit card.

    "I'm so frustrated with living paycheck to paycheck! When will I finally succeed?"

    You've been a part of those those types of conversations, isn't it right?

    Your very own success story is going to start. All you have to do is in YOURSELF.
