"Today, we have generic computing platforms and generic connectivity (The
Internet). This has made it possible for anyone to write a telephony
application and share it with others. The nature of consumer technology has
changed.
We no longer need to depend on a provider for services such as telephony. We
have many companies offering not only voice over IP (VoIP) but video too. Using
open APIs, those with programming skills (or toolkits) can implement such
applications themselves. Despite the term “Consumer Technology”, we can each be
creators and contributors.
5G is at odds with this movement of functionality from the providers’ networks
into our devices. We are moving from intelligence in the network to intelligent
devices. As I see it, 5G seems more like the past of networking rather than the
future.
My view is that the IEEE has a responsibility to take a policy-neutral stand
and treat 5G as one of many approaches to connectivity."
