WHAT PERCENTAGE OF YOUR

INCOME IS FROM FREELANCING?

THE POLL

It shouldn’t change

anything, there are still

going to be a lot of

people who are on 4G or lower.

It’s important to think about the

accessibility of those who can’t

or won’t be using 5G. At least at

first, we’d like to think there’d be

no change.

@HeX_Productions

In large swathes of the

UK, it’s not uncommon

to only have Edge or 3G

*at best* when on a train.

@schofeld

2G will still be key if you

want to keep webpages

accessible in rural areas.

@m_lorek

It won’t, until there are

so few 3G phones that

supporting them

becomes unviable.

@WebSurrey

Bloat will continue

apace, more people on

slower networks will be

cut off from those requiring a

fast connection. Not a bad thing

though: their part of the

bifurcated internet will be less

centralised hopefully!

@muzzlehatch_

Google (search engines)

will continue to dictate

the answer to some

extent. Aside from that, since it

allows more room for video,

sound, voice command and

interactive content, we’ll push

the limits to implement a wide

range of dynamic overlays.

@digitaleye

It won’t, because some

people will always be on

2G in a crisis. This is for

everyone. Never forget that.
