Light Reading's 22 Most Popular 5G Stories of 2018

5G has been the hot tech topic of 2018.

From fluffy mainstream features on "What 5G Will Mean for You" to, er, whacky YouTube rants on why 5G equals mind control. Everybody and his -- or her -- dog has something to say on the subject.

2019 may be the year that 5G becomes real. 2018, however, was definitely the year that 5G went viral. And Light Reading was right there in the thick of it.

As you'll see by perusing our top 22 5G stories this year, we delivered our typical hard-hitting reports on the key carriers and vendors, but much more besides, including the 5G roots now being planted in the US, as well early ideas being envisaged for -- yep! -- 6G.

About the Author(s)

Dan Jones

Mobile Editor

Dan is to hats what Will.I.Am is to ridiculous eyewear. Fedora, trilby, tam-o-shanter -- all have graced the Jones pate during his career as the go-to purveyor of mobile essentials.

But hey, Dan is so much more than 4G maps and state-of-the-art headgear. Before joining the Light Reading team in 2002 he was an award-winning cult hit on Broadway (with four 'Toni' awards, two 'Emma' gongs and a 'Brian' to his name) with his one-man show, "Dan Sings the Show Tunes."

His perfectly crafted blogs, falling under the "Jonestown" banner, have been compared to the works of Chekhov. But only by Dan.

He lives in Brooklyn with cats.
