Dish Network 5G Internet?

I just got an invite to be a possible beta tester?

If you got a legitimate invite instead of a scam, then it might be a good idea not to disclose the fact publicly. If you got invited through the forum then contacting Scott or one of the staff members for confirmation would also be smart, that way you know if it is legitimate (Scott has openly mentioned being in the beta for a long time, I believe he is allowed despite the NDA’s) and if it’s not legitimate then they can take action against the fraudster.

Edit: Just realized this discussion was about the Dish 5G project, though you were talking about the regular Dish beta. If that was the case then you can disregard the first part of what I said because they probably have different rules over there. Still worth mentioning being careful when you are asked for your personal info over the Internet.

I am not in the Genesis Beta. But I do know they are looking for testers in the Las Vegas area.

I got an invite email today. But I'am not interested in beta testing anything. I already figured I was a beta tester just trying to get the DISH receivers to work in the early years.

The questionnaire did ask how often I was in the Las Vegas area. It then asked what my address was. There has been several new Reddit sites that are mentioning where members are getting invites. None of these are in the Las Vegas area.

True!!!

China is already talking about 6g right now.

7G is being talked about:

As long as the 5G rollout is taking, I doubt I'll see 7G in my lifetime lol

Higher frequencies. Almost instantaneous. Nano antennas for satellite service. Rainbow wax for unicorns….

Can some telecom expert explain this to me?

At it's simplest, Dish is running much of its 5G network operating software on Amazon's Web Services cloud servers.

I have been reading anything I can find about this, but most of it I don't have a clue what it means. I can't wait for the basic info like what equipment will be used and what the price plan(s) will be.

It is only 6 weeks until Dish has to have their systems working for 20% of the US. It is being tested in Las Vegas now with more sites coming up for testing. I am in one of the locations that has to up and running by June 14th. I received an email back about the beta testing saying my location is not in the testing stage yet.

Look for news coming from us the second week of May from Team Summit.

There are a few Reddit groups that are for this.

I want to know how Charlie will meet the 20% coverage of the nation with his cell phone service required by the agreement and by June of this year and then 70% by June of 2023? Especially if he only has Las Vegas with actual service. Will be interesting to see what happens if he doesn't meet the time line .

Let's see, a tower each in California, Texas, Florida... that should be close to a rollout in states that represent 20% of the US. This works like electoral votes, right?

70% population or area?

I have heard that up to 100 locations are ready to go.

I also heard Verizon is providing 10 gig fiber to the locations and they are ready to go.

That is good to know. I am on the 100 list.

Where I live at there is only AT&T & Cox fiber available. When the work started to install the Dish antennas on the tower by me there was work on the poles that had Cox on them. I think the AT&T fiber was underground. A lot of people locally complain about Cox being out - will this occur with the Dish system if Cox is the provider.

I assume at some point plans and equipment prices will come out.
