6G sounds awesome, but it is nothing to be hyped about. Also it would take years to see new, complex programs in 6G, so it's better to focus on other things.
Yes, I understand that if Shannon didn't listen to the feedback about his products, he wouldn't get very far. However, sometimes Shannon has to do what is right for the company, even if that means going against what his customers say in regards to feedback. I do believe Shannon takes notes to the feedback that he gets, but in the end he knows what will work and won't works because he is the who puts the products together. It is like when he was listening to the feedback in regards to AM where it was going to be in two parts. However, he couldn't make it work, so he had to do what is in the best interesting of making sure the product will work.
I do agree 6G would be awesome but I rather have Shannon focus his resources on stuff that will help the company grow. Rather than him making 6G, it is better to have Shannon upgrade stuff and do what he feels is right to help the company grow. But he knows his customers come first, however he knows that he will do what is in the best interest of the company as well. Also, yes we can have discussions like civilize adults, but we don't need to keep bringing up 6G stuff or other things which Shannon has already answered several times.
