Telecom companies in the US are in a fierce battle to be the “first” to deliver 5G technology. Verizon launched its 5G broadband internet on October 1 in Houston, TX, Sacramento and Los Angeles in California, and Indianapolis, IN. AT&T claims to have made “the world’s first” mobile 5G millimeter wave connection after a test in Waco, TX.
Not surprisingly, there are doubters who challenge these claims; still, 5G networks are all the rage around the globe, and European and East Asian countries, Australia and India are all in various stages of development of their own 5G infrastructure.
