Q2: How will 5G eventually help change the landscape for mobile? One of the (incorrect!) rumors is that once 5G is common, WiFi will go away. Your take on this?

A2. Because we focus on enterprise customers - we just don't see wifi going away. The privacy and security issues that Enterprise customers face are far better managed through Wifi.

Wonder why some people believe that 5G can replace WiFI. Not even similar!

A2. i can see private LTE + wifi networks / device 2 device communication and security will be important. 5G gives us a lot more coverage and ability to blitz the number of connected devices, only bottleneck is dev willpower to invent :)

most of us are confined in and we're seeing big upticks of mobile usage (ie. twilio stock) and new apps innovating on top of Zoom. Carriers are probably seeing down ticks in cellular usage. In healthcare and gov, we're seeing more demand but logistics challenges

a1. Clearly the dramatic shift to remote working has clearly changed the demand for the mobile devices and apps that help us connect. The impact of COVID-19 on companies considered essential, particularly warehousing and fulfillment has been substantial.

Are we going to see some new apps as a result of this lockdown?

A1: How is this aded bandwidth usage affecting the ISPs? Can they handle it all? Microsoft is investing huge sums to expand Azure.

Jim Xiao
i think so :) with a huge eng force now working from home - engineers by nature have a constant itch to solve problems. how will parents build communities around the new home school? how will families communicate with their loved ones in nursing homes #eweekchat

As a hardware company, we are seeing people use established apps in different ways. Companies are using our AR glasses to leverage Zoom and Skype as remote expert tools - increasing their capabilities but of course we should see new apps

A1. companies have come together during the pandemic / ISPs have uncapped and made Internet an essential service in a way. how they dance with net neutrality post-covid will be fun to watch on C-SPAN. #eweeknews

i imagine microsoft azure and focus on 1.5B+ frontline workers, and how to arm them with custom form factors for various retail/healthcare/manufacturing applications will drive a lot of new startup innovation #eweekchat
