Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Broadband Infrastructure: Discussion
Mr. Hugo Carvalho:
It has been until now but with the advent of 5G, I am not sure. In the same way that fibre does, 5G will be able to bring 500 Mbps. This raises the question as to who the hell needs that much broadband. People probably do not need the millisecond latency 5G will bring. It would be for autonomous driving and Amazon drones delivering food. Fibre might be replaced by 5G. I believe this because we cannot take fibre-optic cables to a car, boat, drone or small sensor.
