Because each pole only houses technology for one mobile carrier, Denver could see hundreds or thousands more as companies expand their 5G networks in the coming years.

But I'm already living a High-Tech Now. What do I need this crap for? A refrigerator connected to the Internet? A lamp? Why do these need to be connected to the Internet? And I need 5G to connect all these devices at my home instead of my existing fiber connection because...?

They're right that 5G is a whole bunch of hype over nothing. I'm already satisified with 4G LTE speeds on my phone when I'm out and about in public. What the hell are you people doing out in public on your phones that needs anything faster than the ~100 Mbps I already get with 4G?

I remember when people left the house to get away from their screens.

I know why China's so excited about 5G. It helps them build a total surveillance state. The more devices they can have connected to the Internet, the more wireless cameras they can deploy, the more ways the Chinese government can spy on their citizens.

This also sums up the inefficiency of having four different wireless carriers each competing with each other with their own chunks of the spectrum instead of having a utility type system for wireless:


Now they have to build out 4x as much redundant crap whereas if the wireless industry was nationalized with the government deploying the infrastructure and wireless companies leasing access to it there would only be a single pole instead of four to do the same thing.

There was a time when americans had a bit of common sense, and could handle reasoning better to sort through what is real and what is not. 5G power levels will be quite low. With more transmitters closer together, the power needed will be less than current systems. Also, the higher frequencies will mean multiple antennas can be integrated into a site to allow beam forming where it is needed, further reducing required power and raising efficiency. It is non ionizing RF, quite harmless. Think for yourself people. It is well known there are people trying to hinder our tech progress by spreading online lies about 5G.

P.S.
I don't have a 5G cellphone. Matter of fact, I don't have a cellphone at all. Got rid of it in 2003. Three years long after I should have. I don't miss it a bit and feel free . . . if not reasonably cheap. When I go outdoors I'm surrounded by water and can't use it on the Island anyway. That's right, an Island. All the money I saved from not having to pay cellphone bills and keep up to date with the Jones' that have "common sense" and buy the latest and greatest cellphone every time they come out, I was able to buy an Island. That's where I "Sand Farm".

I don't think you have a grasp on the potential of 5G. There will be many things possible using 5G that are currently impossible. Future innovation, growth and international business competition dictates that we go all in or we shall fall behind. Things like real time traffic analysis, controlling traffic signals all over town to relieve congestion and rerouting vehicles. Wireless virtual reality streaming. Remote health care. Video conferencing like you are there. Dismiss it at your peril.
