Looks like Dish is not buying Directv

You mean like the various antennas we already need to accommodate the various bands currently in use?
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.

I thought you were talking about the antennas we'll need, not what the cell companies need.

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

But why would I willingly switch to Dish if I have better options elsewhere.
You wouldn't., but not everyone has better options
 
When 3GPP says it's the standard, it's the standard. That's what a standards organization does. Nothing "so called" about 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.

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...

Out in the middle of the country, what do you want them to offer ?
Why is it ATT is at fault, why not any other companies ?
 

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

The carriers are going to implement it differently. If it were so easy we would not need different sets of antennas for each company. This buildout will be a lot slower than 4g was.
by the time they get 5G fully rolled out they will be screaming for 6G!!! wich there working on now!!!
 

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.
