    Well you know, faster phone speed is a great thing, but until the cellular providers start offering increase in bandwidth who is going to use it? I’m certainly not going to watch a movie or TV show on my phone, and pay the data surcharges for the privilege. I just don’t see how it’s of any advantage.
