By Jon Brodkin T-Mobile has denied an allegation that it lied to the Federal Communications Commission about the extent of its 4G LTE coverage. A group that represents small rural carriers says that T-Mobile claimed to have 4G LTE coverage in places where it hadn't yet installed 4G equipment. That would violate FCC rules and potentially prevent small carriers from getting network construction money in unserved areas. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/12/t-mobile-denies-lying-to-fcc-about-size-of-its-4g-network/ ------------------------------ Message-ID: <D2891D86-8CAF-4BB1-8114-A049A4214817@roscom.com> Date: 23 Dec 2018 16:05:11 -0500 From: "Monty Solomon" <monty@roscom.com> Subject: AT&T 5G goes live this week with ridiculously overpowered hotspot Early 5G compatibility gives us a Snapdragon 855 in a mobile hotspot! By Ron Amadeo The era of 5G mobile networks is quickly approaching, and while there isn't any smartphone out yet sporting the new network connectivity, AT&T says that "select" early adopters will soon be able to jump on AT&T's mobile 5G mmWave service with a mobile hotspot. AT&T's 5G service kicks in on December 21 in some cities, which AT&T says makes it "the first and only company in the US to offer a mobile 5G device over a commercial, standards-based mobile 5G network." The hotspot hardware is a "Netgear Nighthawk 5G Mobile Hotspot," which Netgear is calling the "first standards-based mobile 5G device in the world." Netgear's 5G hotspot comes in at a pricey $499 and sounds ridiculously overbuilt. Despite being a mobile router/modem that has very little to do computationally, the Nighthawk is packing one of the newest, fastest SoC's on Earth, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/12/att-5g-goes-live-this-week-with-ridiculously-overpowered-hotspot/ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Tue, 25 Dec 2018
