Looking forward 10 years, Joe and Guus discuss how and why paying for connectivity, both users and devices, may change.

Guus and Joe then look at how connectivity will change over time. Spurred by a conversation with the VP of Cognizent's Digital Transformation team, the show discusses if connectivity will be free in the future, and if so, at what cost. It covers new rollouts of LoRa and IoT infrastructure, as well as new 4G and 5G infrastructure becoming more privatized and how that may impact the user experience.

Joe talks about time in Helsinki with 4G and MiFi devices - Guus argues for Net Neutrality while Joe debates it's potential decline as a positive - Joe talks about advertising propping up free connectivity as a business model and what that would look like for the user experience - Guus presents the idea that free connectivity would mean giving up privacy or security - Guus wants more privacy as we're going towards less and less - Joe rants on current free connectivity spots and their poor quality and information collection.
