It is the latest, or “fifth generation,” of cellular wireless technology just starting to be rolled out, notes industry-leading income specialist Tom Hutchinson, a contributor to MoneyShow.com and editor of Cabot Dividend Investor.
But it’s much more than just an incremental generational cell phone advancement. It will thrust the world into a new age. A new generation rolls around every 10 years or so, from the initial one that enabled cell phones in the first place to the third and fourth generations that enabled smartphones and mobile data.
