Ólafur Magnússon, Nova's technical director, sits down with us and discusses the situation in the electronic communications market with regard to wireless connections.


What is 5.5G and why aren't there better names for wireless standards and what should we do with ten times the speed?


Will there be service levels to access the internet? Will people have to pay more for higher speed and less for lower quality?


Do we need fiber optics?


The development is opening up various innovation opportunities, for example wireless live broadcasts of events. See an example of that here.


The podcast is in Icelandic.
