So far 5G has been slower and less reliable (more random dropped and switched connections) than 4G LTE, and LTE-A was super fast for a bit. The 5G rollout is still ongoing too.

Gotta keep you on that upgrade cycle so you eventually have to buy a new phone. $$

I think they were trying to make the point that we HAD faster speeds, but it was discovered that most people didn't really need it and were happy paying less to go slower. They are comparing this to 6G, sure, some will use it, but for most it will be a needless expense.
On the actual supersonic air travel point - eh, is it really needed considering the massive extra energy required?

That too

Hmmm. I guess.

Yeah this whole article fell pretty flat with me and this analogy especially. I'd sure as hell like faster air travel and sure, I'm pretty sure I'll find a use for faster mobile connections too. Agree I'd much rather see better coverage maps with 5G than a speed bump in the select areas where I do get a good 5G connection, but seems likely that eventually there will either be some demand for 6G speeds or it will at least become cheap enough to implement as a marketing tool by telecoms.
