Hot take: if ISPs don't create slow/fast lanes, developers too invested in 5G will create experiences and pages that really only work on 5G, thus creating a gap where 5G devices work on a larger set of the net than older devices. #wildGuess #opine #hotTake
Yeah, I think that's a big concern. With 5G rolling out unevenly and much of the world only just getting online or connecting from remote areas, developers need to be thinking progressive enhancement and broader accessibility, but that just hasn't always been the case.
This is already going on since a long time ago tho. Most websites nowadays just really don't pay attention to size/speed optimization. Once I was working with a studio in Spain and I complained about the size of the website (Around 50MB) and they said "Well, everybody here in spain has fast speed internet, so it really doesn't matter".
Well yes. As I said in another comment, 5G is in part exactly like 4G. The real difference of 5G is the ability to handle massive amounts of users. So in less dense areas it's going to be literally identical to 4G.
