Is 5G A Necessary Evil or a Forced necessity????
The 5G radio spectrum is divided up into bands, each with unique features as we move up into higher frequencies. 4G network uses frequencies below 6 GHz, but 5G operates on extremely high frequencies in the 30 GHz to 300 GHz range.
Commercial 5G networks began to be deployed in 2020 worldwide and are expected to reach 12% of world mobile connections (1.1 billion) and generate revenues up to the U.S.$1.3 trillion by 2025 for operators.
5G had been deployed in 50 cities in the United States and countries like Japan and China have started 5G mobile services on a trial basis.
Now the problem with this especially in India is really severe.
1. 5G is unnecessary
Any on who is using 5g can say you with confidence that the main reason that companies use to promote 5g is Higher Bandwidth(Internet speed). But in reality, the speed of 5g that a user gets is just a little with higher than 4g(you can consider it as 4g+). This was not the case when moving from 3g to 4g.
In 3g,one use to get a speed of 300KB to 900KB per second on average in real use. But in 4g, users experience speed of 5MB to 10MB on average in real use(10 times more than 3g). This was a huge jump.But in 5g,though companies claim to give you 1GB /sec speed, in reality we get a speed of 15MB to 20MB on average in real use. This is not a huge jump if you think rationally(based on real use in daily life and need).
2.High Prices
Now this brings us to the next problem that is paying 2x(2 times) more than 4G plans.Though the 5g speed is unnecessary in many cases but we have to more money for literally same data. Though initally companies are giving 5g for free but in reality this is just a marketing strategy. Companies are using this strategy to make users more addicted to internet so that when there will be only a few telecom companies,users will be forced to pay 3 to 4times more money.(You already know how JIO has almost killed all competitors in the Telecom industry in India. The telecom industry is almost a duopoly or(oligopoly)in India).
3. More addiction
People will get more addicted to internet, it is a fact now.
4.More data usage and More Advertisement
As the internet speed has improved in 5g ,the companies will push more advertisement on websites,social media etc. It means more ads on websites,YouTube, OTT, Whatsapp, Streaming ,phone UIs(everything online).
5. Few Companies will profit and the citizens will suffer
5g means more speed,more price,more stress,more fake news,more misinformation,more hatred,more danger,more addiction.
