I hope that the network vendors and the IoT vendors sit down and think about how the devices and the network can work to mitigate things like large-scale IoT DDoS etc. Even if this mean new protocoling or whatever. I'm not sure I'm thinking about this exactly correctly, but I feel there is something in there?

FWIW, in my country the historical ISP is pushing for a dedicated network for industrial and hobbyists connected devices. The pipes are already wired.

As an end-user, I'm ok with current 4G/LTE link speeds. What would be great is they could minimize TTFB on mobile devices. It takes a second or two for the first bits of content to appear in the browser/mail, especially after the phone has been in sleep mode.

The only reason the speeds seem fine is because due to data caps people are too afraid to actually use the data. With more capacity in the networks, data caps can rise, and usage will go up. I don't want to have to mess around with connecting to coffee shop WiFi networks all the time. Every computer should have a wireless chipset that simply uses the WWAN when a WLAN is not available, without you worrying about that OS update downloading in the background.

No end-to-end encryption though. Oh well, maybe for 6G?

Even 4G (LTE) is typically end to end encrypted. Unsure what you are trying to say or if you're just trolling.

Isn't it just mobile station to base station encryption, not true E2E encryption of calls (which would never be allowed)?

Maybe in the USA, in the UK at least plenty of people have unlimited/large data plans, and the speeds are still fine.
