'All I’m asking is that the next time you hear a wireless industry person talk about the “race” to 5G, stop and ask them why it’s a race. '
'I have a dumb question that no one seems capable of answering directly: Why is 5G a race?'
'But I sincerely doubt that all of these companies will pick up and move to China or Europe if the United States builds 5G networks slightly slower. '
'There are incredible privacy implications around putting millions of IoT devices in a “smart city” on 5G. Investment dollars will naturally flow toward building 5G networks in cities instead of expanding our networks to rural areas, exacerbating the digital divide. '
'Where is the list of specific negative outcomes of China building a 5G network a month, a year, or even five years before the United States?'
