when you could buy a nice car for $1000.
This is about cellular smart phones. Here's the FCC chairman's quote:
"5G network that covers 97% of the nation's population within 3 years of merger close and 99% of Americans within 6 years."

While some know that smart phone turnover is about every 2 years the push is to move to 5G coverage for 97% in just 3 years.
The push wasn't as fast with 3 and 4G and 4G never seemed to hit as high a coverage as they wanted it to. Now with 5G they see another big pay day as folk upgrade to 5G.
Somewhere in all this are not so hidden to deny some companies and others a cut of this American Pie.
Those $1000 and over smartphones folk bought are going to be left behind. The 2/3/4 G ride taught me well to not overinvest in your smartphone.
