Re: 5G Rollouts Will be Incredibly ExpensiveThere's so may articles about how wonderful 5G is going to be, there's really no need for to be all happy-clappy about it.
Re: 5G Rollouts Will be Incredibly ExpensiveDanny Doubter makes his appearance. Always poking holes and throwing cheap grenades from the bleacher seats. MM Wave will be placed first where it can get a good ROI and then you will have LTE enhanced in your more rural areas. That is the model they will pursue. AT&T and Verizon are poised to completely obliterate T-Mobile and Sprint better find a wealthy dance partner soon(Comcast / Charter). Sprint is far more attractive than T-Mobile with it's spectrum assets and Son has far greater vision than DT's Tmobile which is simply on the selling block and looking for a buyer. Me thinks when one gets under the hood of Tmobile they aren't liking what they see.
Re: 5G Rollouts Will be Incredibly ExpensiveWell mmWave will have the speed but not the range or propagation. Low band gives you the range but not the speed. How do you square that circle?
Re: 5G Rollouts Will be Incredibly Expensive600mhz and up may be part of the standard, to appease a carrier like T-Mobile but it'll never have the capacity that mmWave does.
5G marketing and reality - two completely different animals.
5G Rollouts Will be Incredibly ExpensiveWhich is why Verizon has said they will only rollout 5G in areas they have already rolled out 5G Fixed wireless. Those 1,700 strand fiber cables will support fixed 5G and business services in metro areas creating a $$ case for 5G wireless. I think they've said what 2020 for 5G wireless? Maybe it was 2022.
Sprint is no where near financially stable enough for a 5G rollout. TMobile may call 600mhz 5G but will 600mhz be oart of a 5G standard?
