Also, providers by and large still haven’t delivered on the original promises of 4G.

In some places they did deliver on it. I understand that cellular data is pretty shitty in the US, but in many places in EU you’re getting 100mbps with unlimited data for like 20€ a month. I could even get 200mbps if I pay extra.

In Canada we call that $1.50/s down, $0.75/s up.

I’m old enough to remember the self-driving cars and service robots that UMTS (=3g) was supposed to deliver

Most new cars these days do download maps, traffic, OTA updates etc using 3G, so yes, this did happen
