yes, they are. we don't have to

You think we'll do it to ourselves?

5g isn't fiber optics

it's not some great leap forward

there is something to be said for being able to turn it all off when you want

not have it one whether you want it or not

Trust me America will be able to beat China easily which is saying a lot considering we’re at the dark ages of our history

Fibre optic isnt as accessible as 5g will be tho

personally, i think cell jammers should be legal

false; 5g will be limited to cities

Not dark ages tbh, a social depression maybe

Like how 4g was

Please

suburbs and rural areas will still have spotty coverage

You'll know dark ages when you're stealing food from children to kill starvation pains.

Dark ages is a pun for the color of the people we are bringing you see @Redxl

At first, as that's where the expenditures are most justified during the initial phase of the transition, sure.

Ah

nah, it's not just 'at first'

Bit reaching but ok.

5g requires trasmitters very close together

fkn nogs

^

there isn't even infrastructure that close together in most places

I have better connection to 4g in rural Oregon than I do in some of the zones in LA

Got a citation for that?

That's why I'm not a fan of 5g, the infrastructure alone is a logistical nightmare.

Dark ages? The darkies don't age though. They're too busy shooting each other

Yeah, but 5G isn't merely a matter of cellular connectivity.

It also includes all consumer electronics, routers, etc.

5g is not going to roll out perfectly

yeah, and as i said they won't be able to know if their deployment is causing synergitic issues even when it just comes to infrastructure

But to imply it will be permanently limited to cities is just absurd

you have wifi for that

Also not a fan of more radio wave pollution

Iot doesn't need 5g or anything else for that matter

Actually I dont have wifi for that

hell most of it can be done using a power line modulator

It's not an expansion of so-called radio-wave pollution, as the specifications for transition require phasing out on a 1:1 basis.

I drive rigs, I have wifi 4 days a month

you have electricity, yes/
