    They’ve done this with every new generation, I’m shocked that they aren’t already advertising 6G

      Oh, did you forget about the time LTE started rolling out and telcos decided to call HSPA+ (3.5G) 4G? One of these scumbags will start calling it 6G. Marketing teams are full of great ideas. /s

        Technically speaking the first LTE specification didn’t meet 4G requirements either, so for a short while you could get two different fake 4Gs.

      “Comcast is discontinuing its its “Xfinity 10G Network” branding to describe its internet service after a National Advertising Review Board (NARB) panel found that the term could mislead consumers into thinking that Comcast’s cellular and broadband services would offer much faster speeds than current-generation networks.”

      6G market entry is planned for around 2030 with first specifications being finished around 2027-28, there have always been around 10 years between generations.
