The memo dramatically claims that the move from 4G to 5G is such “a fundamental shift in wireless infrastructure” that it is “more like the invention of the Gutenberg press than the move from 3G to 4G.”
The article is about a broader security US Government memo which discusses nationalising the coming 5G infrastructure. But it is here you can get a sense of the looming revolution that is coming.
Whoever leads in technology and market share for 5G deployment will have a tremendous advantage towards ushering in the Massive Internet of Things, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and thus the commanding heights of the information domain
Missing from here is any mention of Verizon’s accelerated plan to deploy fixed-wireless access using “V5G”.
If you’re in telecommunications and think you can continue to belittle mobile cellular as “complementary” to fixed-line, you’re kidding yourself.
