I am not buying any electronic device (router, tablet, phone, TV, computer) that doesn't have 802.11ac. Unfortunately, the specs are preliminary (draft status), like 802.11n was for over a year. Hopefully the IEEE will certify the "ac" standard much quicker.

The OAM curved antennas & transmission protocols, if the cell phone, satellite & broadcasting industry adopts this recently discovered breakthrough, will be able to do many amazing things since it allows thousands of times of data to be transmitted over the bandwidth they now utilize. Future satellites will be able to transmit thousands of simultaneous Ultra HD (4K, 8K) videos, cell phones will easily & cheaply be able to let everyone make video connections without adding new cell phone towers or additional bandwidth, & new TV's will be able to receive hundreds of BROADCAST Ultra HD stations using the 6 mHz bandwidth of existing stations.

A WiFi that communicates at 2.5 terabits/sec means our routers, tablets, phones, TV's & computers will progressively obsolete themselves for the rest of all our lives.

And cue the lowered data caps and overage rates in 10, 9, 8...

computers for decades have been outdated months after you buy them and obsolete around 3 years later. With many components that statistically will be failing around five years. The tiers ISPs artificially impose and network lag are the biggest obstacles in next few years, for years most people have been wasting CPU & disk resources and more recently GPUs as well.
