Another Reg Standard?

Ofcom today wrapped up bidding on its 5G spectrum auction, which made 200MHz of mid and low-band spectrum available to carriers, raising the total amount of mobile spectrum by 18 per cent.

My burning question is what are people using the blistering 5G speeds for? I know Kevin Bacon has suggested in the past downloading a box set etc. I'm not a massive user of mobile data though I'll happily admit.
