.alpha, 01 Nov 2019300GB mobile data. Who use that much?I would probably use 100 GB a month, watching videos on YouTube in HD+ alone can burn a lot of data pretty fast. Now if I watched Netflix of Disney+, streamed music and used hotspot in pretty sure I can burn through 300 GB earlier than in one month.

      Chinagonemad, 01 Nov 2019Yes, China wants to be first in something so they selected ... moreEvery country is the same. Profit comes first. I live in the US and we don't even care about the environmental protesters and still signed to get out of the treaty because Trump knows the big corporations will lose billions in oil drilling. This is very bad for the entire world and our government is jealous of China ahead of them in 5G technology and we are trying to play catch up with China. If we are so concern about people's health we shouldn't even allow 5G deployment.

        Way to go China. here in my country we are still struggling with stable 3g/4g and here China are already using 5g.

            Well its nice china have already 5G soon t spreads to other countries depends on cariers and cell phone makers.
            In maybe year 2022 Ifruit users gets maybe a 5G phone with modelm from Intel if they dont frick up with Intel like they usualy do with every company working for Ifruit.
            So at 2022 there will be maybe 6G network in some contries.

                                    "CNY128 (about $18/€16) for 30 GB of data"
                                    But you genuinely do not need 30GB of data in China, there's no net neutrality here so you could easily enter a contract with a carrier in which either Tencent's apps, or Alibaba's apps have unlimited free data. Whichever side you choose guarantees a video streaming app, a music streaming app, a messaging service, a map, and an online marketplace, with the most noteworthy difference being Tecent's plan covering WeChat and a few popular games and Alibaba's plan covering Taobao, Alipay, and even UC Browser.
                                    If you have free unlimited data for video, music, shopping, web browsing, communication...how much more data beyond that do you need? Certainly not 30GB a month.
                                    The more realistic rates for 4G service in China, all surcharges included, is around the $4-8/mo. range, so this is 5G rate is already quite expensive and only for the wealthy or for people whose data plans are covered by their companies.

                                        Only 30GB for 5G? C'mon that's gonna finish in a minute. 5G is useless at this point. Maybe in a couple of years it would be widespread
