Nationalized 5G network (??)
The U.S. long ago decided that we weren't going to control tech through manufacturing but through ideas and consumption.
Well, we're getting bit in the arse over that choice and now that our "trusted" counterparts in the EU are becoming overwhelmed by nation-state-sponsored corporations is it too late to rethink the approach? "Flipping the script" is spoken of. I don't think we have the stomach or the motivation. Interesting read. Take a look at the accompanying slides and extract of the white paper. (I realize that various papers on topics are a dime a dozen in government...so FWIW). Link here Quote:

I'm on the fence
I think the big question is: Will the World move all communications and computing infrastructure to cell phone technology OR WIFI.. If you recognize that in the future a nation's infrastructure includes Cell Phone and/or WIFI,, you probably will need government intervention. :munchin |

Desired data speeds, network congestion issues and demand for data driven by IoT and smart city movements are forcing things forward, at least for the metro areas of the U.S. Gig bands and required infrastructure architecture don't translate well to the rural landscape. Another point is our (lack of) ability to ensure a secure supply chain. |
I despise bureaucracy, also.
But, there is a place for government to take on big infrastructure programs (I’m thinking of this communication infrastructure as analogous to an interstate highway system or early utility programs in the rural south or west). And, we can learn from those projects. There must be clear, reachable and defined goals. There must be budgetary constraints. Then, and perhaps most importantly there must be a clear timetable for reducing or eliminating the federal government’s role in any such project. Trump is a builder. He just might be the president who could get this done and then get government out of the way. On the down side I wonder what snooping protocols BIGGOV could build into such a national system. |

I think, given enough profit margin, telecoms could push the limits like SpaceX has with NASA’s old “monopoly”.
I could see the USG making a “new” TDMA network and calling it 5G...cuz the plans cost $5,000! :p |
Nationalized
They lost me at "Nationalized"
If you want it you pay for it. Period. |

In the end, we'd all be better off investing in amateur radio! |
No
Make the laws and regulations geared toward the desired effect. It is not a public utility. The private sector handles everything better. |

I could also see IA training mandates before you use the network and violations would get you kicked off. (current Govt policy) No thanks I like unfiltered internet if I am willing to pay for it. |
