My understanding is that things like online games could take advantage of it, for the latency. Anything that has high latency concerns would be made better by having a closer endpoint.
lower latency is definitely a great point. The second point I subscribe less to it, this would mean more complexity and harder constraints on the battery
If we're going to put it in computery terms, latency matters. People want decreased latency for themselves, not just to be in the company of more people sitting in the same traffic jam.
My delight at lower latency pretty quickly evaporates in the face of a spinning hourglass. I'd rather have consistent availability at the expense of latency.
