      Some facts: there are two Everest Base Camps. The one that most people think of and that you trek to which is in Nepal, and BTW is where the photo in the article is taken from. And one on the Chinese side which is the one the article is about (you drive to this one) and thats not the right photo.

        If i go hiking in the mountains as MT Everest, the last thing that would worry me is 5G.

          More advance than many of the large cities in USA. America is quickly becoming outdated.

            Too bad theres no stream demo ;-)

            I wonder if theres just that many people that need 5G over there, or if its just for the feat

              That impressive. I live 15 min from Boston and I can't even get steady LTE nvm 5G.

                They installed 5G antennas up there and after just one day of using them Mt.Everest is now officially 150m higher... it's now 9000m high...and bats are flying around it..lol

                    Crazy people!

                      Wow. Great.

                      But all the operators in India (airtel, vodafone / idea and jio) do not even provide 3G and 4G coverage at all places.

                        [deleted post]Joke of the year !!! :-DDDD

                              Its not climbing when you still able to playing internet with your phone. But the bright side is climbers able to call/communicate easily on the mountain.
