"You're still waiting to get 4G? That's old hat: the European Commission is already thinking about 5G. It's investing &amp;euro;50 million ($65.3 million) into research with the hope that the next-next-generation cellular technology will be a practical reality by 2020. About &amp;euro;16 million ($20.9 million) of that is headed toward METIS, an Ericsson-led alliance hoping to develop wireless with 10 to 100 times the capacity, a similar increase in speed and just a fifth of the lag. Like a UK parallel, though, there's only so much technology talk the Commission can offer at this stage. The funding is as much for regional pride as progress -- officials want 5G to be a Europe-led affair after Asia and North America took center stage on 4G."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
