Why is no one talking about the privacy implications of 5G (and by no one I mean mainstream adoption efforts)? It feels like all the nutcase 5G conspiracy theories are to distract from the real issue at hand, which is that the legal and societal framework to handle the fact that you need a mobile phone to function in a modern society (keeps getting worse) and that 5G can be used to track your whereabouts with sometim…
I see a lot of buzzwords on this page. Can someone explain what's the actual benefit of this and why it's important?

tl;dr warehouses, factories and other places similar in size to a campus can create their own wireless network based on their 5G stack (vs WiFi, LoRa, 4G) to communicate between nodes, usually things like weather seasors on warehouse rooftops, robot telemetry on factory floors, etc
Anyway, thank you again for explaining.

Thank you! Why can't they just say this. It actually makes a lot of sense and I would be interested, if it wasn't for all these non-sense buzzwords. Anyway, thank you again for explaining.
I mean, they do. Go back and reread the first and last graphics.

And does this include things like positioning? I remember some buzz around indoor positioning in 5G, but I'm hazy on whether it was built in, or just general speculation.
you'd need at least three nodes apparently :)

Also pretty much every car in a few years will be connected all time, so someone somewhere will always have the means to monitor its position, visited places, conversations, etc. There's no solution; in just a couple decades we transitioned from local private unconnected CCTV (shops, malls, etc.) to pervasive government surveillance in cities, and we adapted to it; from this to drones with cameras flying and connecte…

5G is nothing but marketing wank. Carriers aren't deploying some new sci-fi technology, they are just incrementally upgrading their networks to a more recent (and backwards compatible) revision of the LTE standard.
