from the still-waiting-on-4G dept.

The new millimeter-wave network, or what AT&T calls "5G+," will be available in "parts" of New York City, though parts may be a bit of a stretch. In its release, AT&T acknowledges that the service will be in "limited areas initially" with a company spokesperson telling CNET that the new service will be available first in parts "near and around East Village, Greenwich Village and Gramercy Park."

[...] "As a densely-populated, global business and entertainment hub, New York City stands to benefit greatly from having access to 5G, and we've been eager to introduce the service here," said Amy Kramer, president of AT&T's New York region, in a statement. "While our initial availability in NYC is a limited introduction at launch, we're committed to working closely with the City to extend coverage to more neighborhoods throughout the five boroughs."

[...] It is still unclear when AT&T will make 5G available to everyone, but the company plans to deploy a nationwide 5G network on its wider-ranging "sub-6" spectrum in the "first half of 2020."

    The first commandment of the rules of logic is not to attack the person making the assertion, which you are doing.

    5g and am radio signals are not remotely comparable technologies. Your comment is essentially anti-intellectual and only tries to end the conversation through cliche.

    There were some people who thought tv and radio signals are too much. TV and radio transmitters frequently kill birds and other animals who get too close. We are talking about power scale as much as frequency.

    You are saying because we accepted those technologies we must always accept new technologies, and this is a very special kind of argument, so thanks for that.

    You can read my website and you will find I actually am the creator and proponent of a mathematical forumula for determining the value of technological items, and then you will learn that from my viewpoint it is a lot more about this word Trust than fourier analysis. Although the fourier analysis is also very important. If you brought me fourier analysis of 5g, that would be something that might get me to consider your contribution to this discussion, because at this point I do not.
