Each of these categories opens up challenging problems in AI/visual algorithms, high-density computing, bandwidth/latency, distributed systems. One such example is activity recognition in motion video (such as LRCN , Convnets ) which may entail running combinations of both convolutional as well as recurrent neural networks simultaneously.

I don’t need more bandwidth for video conferences or movies, but I would like to be able to download operating system updates and other large items in seconds rather than minutes. There are impressive estimates for latency for 5G, but reality has a tendency to be harsh on such predictions. At a gigabit, you don’t have to think twice.
