There was a lot to see in Las Vegas last week, but was there anything said that we had never heard before? Phil Harvey and Mike Dano discuss the week's activities and parse each major carrier's 5G progress following CES 2019.

Podcast: What in the 5G World Happened at CES?

Mike Dano, Light Reading's editorial director of 5G & mobile strategies, joins Phil Harvey for the podcast this week to discuss the big carrier moves at CES 2019.

The annual consumer electronics confab last week featured all kinds of advanced tech for homes and, especially, automobiles. Underpinning it all, though, is 5G, the next generation of the mobile and communications network.

Dano flips through his notebook and offers his updates from the show, assesses each national carrier's progress in the 5G race. We also test just how good-natured a guy he really is by asking questions scientifically engineered to get journalists to complain about trade shows and casinos.
