Here are the bombshell paragraphs: Our datacenter applications seek ever more CPU-efficient and lower-latency communication, which Pony Express delivers. Rather than reimplement TCP/IP or refactor an existing transport, we started Pony Express from scratch to innovate on more efficient interfaces, architecture, and protocol.

While Wi-Fi theoretically can achieve 5G-like speeds, it falls short in providing the consistent performance and reliability that 5G offers, including low latency, higher speeds, and increased bandwidth. Additionally, frequent handoffs between access points can lead to delays and connection drops.

My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. Ford, et al., “TCP
