Today if you can't afford your internet bill thats it no internet unless you crack someone elses wifi.
As 5G technology emerges there could easy be a convergence of 3 technologies Smart TV Mobile Intener and calls and Home Broadband.
So with 5G it looks like these big merged mobile and broadband are going to be wanting to put 2 or trancievers up on the roofs of practically every street.
So what might you get in return.
A Pay as you go alll round service where if you havent topped up for the month you can still access a range of smart TV and use 1 or 2 Mb/s of internet at home and still send free sms's on your connected phone service.
In a budle deal for a family you might top up for 2 children your self and your wife and get three months of unlimited 40Mb intenet.
You may also pay a £70 a year internet license on top of £70 TV license
The key to 5G becomming widespread is for the costomer no matter what setup he she's looking for to have a good flexable range of choices.
What is also key is that the customer gets free internet at a low rate and Smart TV for his or her yearly fee.
This would mean that a High earning family could get a good deal buy and reant plenty of tele steam up whatever games and you tube to their hearts content.
While a cash strapped student can watch TV and all ways be able to access the internet for learnid efforts.
One way to do it is to have a SMart Tv license and an Intenet Lisence.
If you just use the non topped up internet with no smart TV all you should have to pay is say £50
If you just watch smart TV and have no Internet all you should have to pay is the TV license at £80 - £120 dependent on income.
If you top up more than once are on a contract and use both high speed internet and watch smart TV you should pay 80 - 140 pound dependent on income.
Btw can you think of any other way they could convince nations to have masts up on 2 to 3 roofs per street without bringing the tele and some free internet into the mix.
This could mean a significant boost to the BBC and local internet media services in the future.
I think what is really key is that no one is left with no sevice for weeks on end any more but if they want to do anything more they have to pay like use skype with a mobile, play online games or watch UHD TV.
