Thoughts on Mobile Networks

I was also thinking about the capabilities of 3G and 4G computing, and how computing and data transfer is, in its most basic form, waves of light. The higher the frequency of that light, the more data that can be transferred between mediums, due to the fact that the trough of these waves represents a 0 and the peak represents a 1. This makes up the data that we send across wireless networks. 3G acts at about 1GHz frequency, or about a billon bits a second transferred, while 4G is about 60 times that much. 5G would be immensely fast, and is most certainly attainable in the next 5 to 10 years.
