|

Bill Gates-backed Vicarious Surgical adds a virtual reality twist to robots in the operating room What these technologies have in common, and the reason why Verizon is likely very happy to partner with a company like Medivis, is the huge amounts of bandwidth that are going to be required to make their visions of the future come true.
