7. 5G/6G A metaverse would be of no use, and to all purposes it will be non-existent, if you cannot access it. Communication to, from and within the metaverse(s) is crucial. We accessed SecondLife using landline connectivity and, partly, 3G wireless system. Nowadays the access has to be wireless to …
