[Bloat] minecraft over 5g

"Are we not all tired of talking about throughput as a key measure of
5G?" Amin told Light Reading in response to a question about 1&1's
strategy. "The first accomplishment is to deliver 3-millisecond
latency and to put a Minecraft application server, the UPF [user plane
function], CU, DU and Robin.io all collocated in the same pod. This is
just brilliant."

	Assuming all your minecraft friends live in the same pod's aggregate area and are at the same mobile carrier/ISP...* 
	I am glad they are focussing on lower latency over bulk thoughput for sure, but I fail to see any sound business strategy behind such demonstrators. Personally I would never ever play on game servers housed and operated by my ISP (and I like my ISP) but I will not put all of my digital eggs in one basket (I use different companies for fixed and mobile internet access for the same reason).



*) Otherwise you are typically better off trying to locate the server where it has roughly the same RTT to all players.

In places with reasonable IXes in the city, then being in the same ISP is
less important.  In Canada, the duopoly can't spell IX :-(
