rickca Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 This is pretty astounding. I wonder ... which happens first, nationalization of the 5G wireless network or Mexico pays for the border wall? https://www.marketwatch.com/story/trump-administration-mulls-nationalizing-5g-wireless-network-reports-2018-01-28 The idea is to make a secure network 'so the Chinese can't listen to your calls'. What are the chances that the NSA has a back door to the entire thing? OK that's my conspiracy theory for the evening.

davide256 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 How bizarre. Wireless 4G/5G networks are far more secure than wired networks. Sounds more like a "big brother" ploy to make surveillance of US citizens easier. Regards, Dave Audio system Link to comment
rickca Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Maybe the telecom companies didn't contribute enough to Trump's election campaign? No way they will allow this to happen.

HardrockInMiniMac Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Forgive me, but is it "root" or "route" yourself to the ground? I could make sense of both versions... We once moved to Canada for a few years. Of course I needed a local cell phone contract and went to a store. They were presenting the "latest, greatest" Nokia phone next to the latest Blackberry model. At that time Nokia was still world market leader and the iPhone had not been introduce yet. So I made a comment to the dealer saying that his so-called latest Nokia model is a model that had actually been released over two years ago in Europe and elsewhere and in fact he would not show any of the new models at all. The guy kept on insisting this was the latest trick. Obviously somebody was trying to protect Motorola. When we left Canada iPhone had taken over. Back at that time I would have never expected the U.S. to become a little like Canada (Autsch!). But now they are putting huge import taxes on washing machines and try to build national wireless networks and national everything... In the short run this strategy will bring the jobs back but it will also leave people with old technologies unless they are domestically available (such as Apple and some others) - some aren't. Anyway, I like the test and it will be interesting to observe what is going to happen...

AudioDoctor Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 That will happen right after Mexico pays for the wall... No electron left behind. Link to comment
rickca Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai said he's against such a move. "I oppose any proposal for the federal government to build and operate a nationwide 5G network. The main lesson to draw from the wireless sector's development over the past three decades -- including American leadership in 4G -- is that the market, not government, is best positioned to drive innovation and investment." Wow, good. This is the same guy who just killed net neutrality.

davide256 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 actually Japan is the wireless leader... they have so much population packed into a small area that its easy to amortize the silicon costs of new wireless tech Regards, Dave Audio system Link to comment

MetalNuts Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Nationalization? It sounds like socialism/communism. Is this happening to US? MetalNuts Link to comment
elcorso Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 It is not my country, but in mine (a very small one) the production and distribution of electric energy, water production and distribution, fossil fuel distribution is state-owned. Until recently the banks were state-owned, now there are private ones, but the deposits and savings in the state-owned ones are guaranteed by law. Cell phone was recently opened to private companies, but for many years it was only the state. We are neither socialists nor communist. Roch Link to comment
