        How about evolving 4G and LTE and its infrastructure to its full potential ? Of theoretical 1Gbps speed for example ?

        How about working hard to make 4G's latency under 10, 5 or even 0 ping ?

        How about expanding and not limiting 4G's bands in the first place ?

        Instead of shouting look people! It's 5G! and it's new so we must have it...

          Proper studies on how to endanger and destroy humans have long ago been made, however the positive and proper studies on how to prevent that from happening, no and most likely never because money.

              I wouldn't be surprised of the report from NASA & NOAA since 5G waves interact with water. If you are interested in the differences between 4G & 5G, check out my comment in the news article "South Korea reaches 1 million 5G subscribers beat 4G adoption rates".

                    "It seems like the US Administration under President Trump is so set on quickly expediting 5G rollout, that it is overlooking a lot of the groundwork needed in order to carry out the FCC’s critical decisions."

                    You people must always find a way to criticize Trump. You just can't help yourselves! I understand, it's called Trump derangement syndrome.

                      That means that there are no space no satellites and the Earth is really flat. Have seen how they lie to us all the time?

                        I have been following his "accomplishments" on The Register and he's the worst FCC Chairman you could ever have.

                          I said it's fishy how they push so much for 5G. As if the first who gets it will win a war.

                          So many scientists and countries are against it and worried about the side effects. Why not wait until it's verified or improved?

                                        Syuser, 14 Jun 2019Simple as that: WE DON'T NEED 5g while 3g and 4g are enough... moreWhile the media coverage for 5G is all about cellphones, the truth is 5G cellphone usage benefits are the least of their concerns. Sure it's a good marketing for people that care about being on the fastest and latest technology.

                                        The true benefits and race to 5G is to have an infrastructure ready for the next generation of automation for IoT/self driving vehicles etc...

                                        The current 3G/4G infrastructures are unable to serve that purpose as it is. That's why 5G is needed.

                                        5G at the band it operates has crappy penetration, it's not meant for indoor use. Think about how good you'll make use of your 5G inside your house/work when you can't get a 5G signal indoor. Then think what's the point if you can't use it indoor? You'll start seeing the bigger picture.
