That is a physics limitations - faster than light comms.

But it does not mean that because some people claim breaking physics 
barriers that the same effects can not be achieved differently.

It is possible to achieve ever lower latencies and higher bandwidths 
with talking about faster-than-light.

Thanks for the paper.

It claims that in year 2040 people use 6G, but I doubt so.  6G will be 
nearing to disappear (as 3G is today), 7G largely deployed and research 
happening on 8G and 9G.

6G will be deployed before year 2030 for all.

A G has a typical lifetime of less than 10 years, from research to 
deployment.  The initial Gs had a longer lifetime and recent Gs have a 
shorter lifetime.
