Mine was Forbidden Planet.

I would never have guessed

I think I will get out the blu-ray and watch it tonight.

Did Juan say a market that has nearly 100% of people matured? I mean, I guess if everyone has one and will continue to get one, it is matured. Yes it will be stealing customers back and forth.,, same with clothing stores and cars... yet we see those still growing... almost like everyday, there is a new customer entering the market, continuously out of need.

Unless they drop the prices of 5g phones(2k)...not thinkin too many will jump on the 5g cell phone band wagon....better to wait for 6g when they start reusing 3g frequencies....5g fixed cellular is where the action is today

Sprint is now claiming that they have "true 5G" and a cell phone capable of receiving it:

PS- it's $1300

True Mobile 5G | Sprint

Their FAQ's cannot even list what the speeds will be. What they say is "
How fast is 5G-

We expect faster download speeds (average and peak) than LTE initially (on capable devices). Performance will continue to improve as we optimize the 5G network and add new capabilities.
"

I am still calling BS on 5G being real currently. It is still 5G Light.

Have you seen what people are willing to pay for upgraded phones? Just keep your eyes open at the next IPhone launch, as to how much people are willing to pay. Samsung as well. Historically, I would strongly disagree with your point.

4K is another great example of what people are willing to pay for marketing. And as more phones become available, the cost will certainly go down, so not sure why your post is relevant right now?

5G really isn't for cells, except maybe in 600 and 2.5 bands. Fixed feed to home.

It is kind of like '5G' being an upgrade to full 4G. Like '4k' streamed is a quarter step above actual HD.

It looks like Dish is still the #1 candidate for buying the T-Mobile-Sprint divestiture group.

T-Mobile, Dish reach divestiture deal, pending DOJ concerns: Sources

I'll bring up this classic once again:

Sprish Mobile?
DisT-Mobile?

Not to be a combined entity.

I can combine the names if I want.

Reuters reporting Looks like dish will be the #4 cell service. Dotting the fine print.

Maybe I'm missing something, but what does the posted link have to do with Dish being the #4 cell provider?

Wonder how dish's wireless service will stack up against the other guys should this go through...

With Dish having access to the Sprint/T-Mobile network for 6-7 years, they should be pretty equal service wise I would think. The phones and plans offered will likely make the difference.
