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."

    Until I did a blind test, go through 10 rooms with known and measurable emf and see what I could feel, none of us could know.

    For some reason that is difficult to do, I'd think it'd be the first thing people should want to check before submitting to this or that generation of broadcasting emf.

    I was twitchy and jumpy, I had kindof a facial tick when I was in the room. I didn't sleep as well. I didn't like how it felt and it was an actual relief to move to a different set of rooms.

    I'd bet a fair amount I could detect that level of emf in a blind test, it felt different. It might be different when you're trying to relax than it is when you are trying to get stuff done. I was able to write ok and be productive.

    Of course we know that the corps would never effect productivity, but relaxation and creativity and longevity etc they don't care a single bit. Fitting as always the same general behavioral pattern you would expect from an occupying alien race.
