5G will use microcell, so more antennas spread around neighborhoods. These stupid commercials of Verizon employees claiming that the city has 5G just means the one neighborhood they are standing in has 5G.
Looks like Dish is not buying Directv

I thought you were talking about the antennas we'll need, not what the cell companies need.
The standard might be set but each company will be rolling the technology out separately.
You already have a bunch of antennas in your current LTE/3G cell phone, 5G just means a lot more antennas but this isn't anything new. The main difference is that urban 5G will sometimes use much higher frequencies that won't penetrate through walls, windows, trees, people etc. just like satellite doesn't (because it will be using some of the same frequencies)
Most of the country is rural area where DSL is the most common ISP. AT&T, Frontier, et al in the country is pathetic, at best

You wouldn't., but not everyone has better options
Maybe you should let the cell companies in on your secret because they are doing there own thing. Maybe they are down with OPP yea you know me.

If they each want to use their own standard, they certainly can. They did it with CDMA and GSM. The hardware vendors are probably all for it...Maybe you should let the cell companies in on your secret because they are doing there own thing. Maybe they are down with OPP yea you know me.

Why is it ATT is at fault, why not any other companies ?

In December, Dish Chairman Charlie Ergen said that the company secured commitments from banks to finance the wireless business. The company needs $5.0 billion to purchase the assets that T-Mobile and Sprint will divest. Dish needs an additional $10 billion to build its own nationwide 5G network. However, the company only has about $2.6 billion in cash reserve.
So far, the stock has gained about 4.0% year-to-date.
Dish wants to build a wireless network
Dish has accumulated spectrum that it hasn't used, and regulators aren't happy with that state of affairs. The FCC has given Dish until 2022 to start using the spectrum in its possession.
If Dish fails to meet its network buildout agreement with the FCC, then the regulator would fine it about $2.2 billion and could even take away its spectrum. Dish has estimated it will require about $10 billion to build a nationwide modern wireless network.
Dish has a $12.4 billion funding gap for its wireless business
If Dish has $2.6 billion following the completion of its rights offering, then the company's wireless venture still has a $12.4 billion funding gap.
While testifying at the T-Mobile-Sprint merger trial, Dish chairman Ergen suggested that funding wouldn't be a major problem. Ergen told the court that three banks have lined up to give Dish a $10 billion loan to build its wireless network. Additionally, Ergen said Dish could obtain a $1.0 billion loan from JPMorgan Chase (JPM) with the help of SoftBank (SFTBY).
Dish's desire to enter the wireless market is largely a response to a shrinking pay-TV market. The company's finances have been deteriorating recently as it continues to lose satellite television subscribers.

I thought dish had more than 2.5 billion.
Charlie would be better off buying a professional sports team or 2 before investing in wireless.
This is going to eventually break the company in a few years. Mark my words
THINK BACK,.... how did Charlie start Dish up, first, he had Houston tracker systems, then it became Echosphere Corporation, then he created Dish with junk bonds he did it once, just saying what happened is history kid, and I lived it
He did have more, guess it's like my dish stock gone

Charlie built the company selling C-band systems that where worth their weight in gold because they could be hacked.
Yet when Nagravision was hacked and everyone was pirating dish network programming, Charlie didn't like that very much.
Totally different game today than it was back then. Nobody is going to want a Dish cell phone.
If Charlie is as smart as I think he is, there is going to be no 5G Network. He is just using this as an extension so he doesn't use his licenses until he finds a buyer for the spectrum and Possibly Dish.
