Europe Agrees To Agree With Everyone Except US What 5G Should Be

Posted by samzenpus on from the here-comes-the-naysayer dept.

itwbennett writes: Following agreements signed by the EU with South Korea in June 2014 and with Japan in May 2015, the EU and China "have agreed to agree by the end of the year on a working definition for 5G," reports Peter Sayer. "About the only point of agreement so far is that 5G is what we'll all be building or buying after 4G, so any consensus between the EU and China could be significant," says Sayer.

    The US will build their OWN 5G network. With Blackjack. And hookers.
    In fact, forget compatibility.

    The US will adopt a closed standard, with royalties, that will work only in the US. That'll keep the eurotrash out.
