It still must be nice to be able to pull out your tablet-esque tablet and be connected to the internet anywhere you go. Especially as CAT-6 LTE is being rolled out in my city (Toronto) with comparable speeds as my home interest in recent years.

This will definitely become a must-have feature in future machines for me. I would no longer have to worry whether or not my local coffeeshop's internet is running slow or takes 5 minutes to properly connect to some random public wifi at a new place.

Public WIFI is prevelant but still very hit/miss. A consitent fast LTE connection would be quite the luxury.

It'd also totally kill SMS and telephone plans which I'm looking forward to the most. Encrypted E2E crypto for both voice/text will be a great incentive for this too.

The LTE is faster because your ISP is a douche. It is insane to ever, ever think transmission over airwaves can rival same-day wired capacity. They're just assholes.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here
