Can 5G support a pure cloud phone without need for a local storage on the mobile devices given the speed and latency of 5G?

EDGE Computing is a fundamental element of 5G and this minimises the processing and power of devices by centralising the use of bandwidth heavy applications or servcies.

Thank you for the information, really mind blowing! I am a management consultant and already leverage the online interacting tools like Zoom and Slack for a couple of years. Very impressed and productive! I love what Vicki mentioned about that the 5G will be a blank canvas. Any more suggestions or thoughts regards to the big picture of content creativity industry? How imaginative we need to be to fit in the 5G world?

How will we continue to inspire consumers and enterprises in 2021 when 5G will start to be experienced - in a wider footprint - with (BW-limited) 700MHz FDD?

From my perspective 5G and the services or applications it supports are very much dependent on the spectrum it utilises. With the long wavelengths these are suitable for longer range solutions linked to such areas as agriculture and transport. In a fully interconnected 5G world all spectrums will benefit each other and therefore they should not be considered in isolation.

I think the bigger challenge will be "how will companies and organisations across all sectors be able to engage with 5G, eg not just a G handset, but by building applications that are available nationally?" - welcome thoughts here. - How business leverages 5G. - Also how NHS builds apps that need 5G.

As so many large companies are slow and cumbersome, what is the best way for an ambitious, future-thinking marketer to find a job which places 5G at the centre of their role?
