Latency: Will it undermine the most interesting 5G use cases?

VoltDB

While current network speeds may be enough to meet the latency requirements of 4G applications, 5G will necessitate a change, if only because the continental US is ~60ms wide, meaning that a datacenter on one coast communicating with another datacenter on the opposite coast will be too slow for 5G. These have to communicate with each other.
