The business press had a feature last week on ATT G5E. They souped up a version of 4G and call it 5GE.
Pure marketing BS with whereas true 5G is in it's infancy and an entirely different beast.
So, customers will "feel" good about their new 5G which is not 5G,
The potential for 5G goes way beyond cell phones and basic Internet service. When I get home tonight I will pull up some videos I was watching that demonstrated some of the future prospects for a truly 5G network. It included device connectivity well beyond what’s in our houses. Cars and other vehicles That use Wi-Fi, security, law-enforcement and identification , Which was actually pretty terrifying when I saw how using people’s cell phones and the speed of 5G, how quickly a random person walking down the street could be identified and all of their information available
I'm fairly certain that is already the case. For the most part, people make law enforcement's job even easier than that just by having a Facebook account. Users (mainly older women and young men) post their every life's detail online. If law enforcement ever needs to find information on them, its all right there for the taking! Dumb, dumb, dumb. Privacy is a lost art.
So how does law enforcement get access to your facebook account?
Sent from my SM-G950U using the SatelliteGuys app!
Also read where they will use it in hospitals for more critical surgeries.
Same way I could. Browse for your name and look at it. Most of the people I know don't even have their Facebook set to private!
Have you ever Googled yourself?
Even a person who really values their privacy (like me) has to work hard to keep their digital footprint as minimal as possible.
Recently I discovered that one of these jail records websites had me listed as "incarcerated" in the Johnson County Kansas jail. I've never been in jail in my life. Turns out they were harvesting online court records and I had received a speeding ticket in Johnson County once. The stupid jail records site misinterpreted that as an incarceration. Anybody who googled my name was seeing that. It took me getting the Kansas Attorney General involved to get it removed.
I have a friend who is a public relations specialist with connections in the DA's office. She told me that Facebook and most public social media is law enforcement's best friend

China has a test city, which was the basis of the videos I saw, and it is fully lit up. The test results of the capabilities of what a fully connected 5G city looks like is awe inspiring and horrifying at the same time
Yeah but dude, this was immediate. As people walked up and down the street you can see pop ups over their head of their names and phone numbers and they showed how you can just click on any one of those people and there were links to everything you ever needed to know about them immediately available. Granted this is a test city, testing technology that isn’t ready for every day use yet, which reminded me of area 51 testing aircraft that we won’t see in the sky’s for another 5 to 10 years, but still, considering the complete lack of privacy and anonymity, It’s pretty intimidating. Orwellian nightmare to the 90th degree
Yeah, in conjunction with 3-D printing. Technology is exploding around us, and we are all worried about backing up our movies LOL
You don’t want to know how many guys I work with that look at their route in the morning and then go to Facebook to search for every female name to see if she’s hot or not. You would be surprised at how many you find right away, because Facebook usually lists people that live closest to you when you search for a username
Yeah, I find that most women have zero comprehension about their right to online privacy. Either that or they just don't care that anybody can find everything they post about themselves online. I don't get it. When I do come across a private Facebook or Instagram page, I think to myself, "Smart lady!"
Not really. The big wireless companies 5G that has rolled out is all window dressing with no mass coverage. They are meeting the deadlines and then some, but certainly the roll out is much ado about nothing. It's all hype and marketing from all the big wireless companies. The real 5G world is at least 2-3 years out.
AND let's not forget that NOT ONE of the big wireless companies have confirmed that 5G service for consumer smart phones WON'T be an UPGRADE PRICE! One of them flat out said they were planning 5G as a trade-up product, while the others would NOT comment, nor commit to NOT having 5G as their trade-up product either.
The truth is that 5G for all the carriers is really about enterprise, corporate clients, not consumer smart phones that do pretty well with 4G/LTE and its CHEAPER network than the more expensive to build 5G network. 5G is about Waymo and Uber and Lyft, finally, giving us driver-less rides and remote medical procedures and home broadband over 5G as ISP competitors and factory automation. I can see 5G for corporate provided smartphones or the few consumers who really need the 5G AND are willing to PAY the EXTRA price for it, but don't count on 5G being for the masses who already have 4G/LTE.
Did you want to provide some details to back that up?
