FCC To Vote On Spectrum For 5G Wireless Networks (reuters.com)

5G has been in the news for years, but it's not available for commercial use just yet. Things will become clearer this week. The Federal Communications Commission will vote on July 14 to decide new rules to identity and open spectrum for next-generation high-speed 5G wireless applications. Reuters reports: FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler said if the FCC "approves my proposal next month, the United States will be the first country in the world to open up high-band spectrum for 5G networks and applications." He said the FCC also will seek comments on opening other high-frequency spectrum bands. Policymakers and mobile phone companies say the next generation of wireless signals needs to be 10 to 100 times faster and be far more responsive to allow advanced technologies like virtual surgery or controlling machines remotely.

    Won't somebody think of the data caps?

    I'm too busy thinking of the niggers. Just you wait, until you live in a nice quiet suburban neighborhood. Then a bunch of niggers move in, likely because of housing subsidies. Suddenly police cars become a regular sight, along with the occasional ambulance. But I'm not supposed to notice that all the white folk and a few Asians around me were good neighbors who didn't cause problems. I'm not supposed to notice that the police cars always stop at the nigger's house. I'm not supposed to notice that nigger culture generally celebrates violence and thug life. No, if I noticed those things, that would be taboo, and some Slashdotter with utopian ideals about how the world works might get offended down there in Mama's basement.

    Well guess what? I would love it if blacks moving in was a good thing. You think I care about melanin? No, I care about good considerate neighbors. Time and again, those have not been black. Especially young black males. It's easy to hate me for saying this until it happens to you. Until the area you worked hard to live in goes downhill through no fault of your own, and the home you invested so much in becomes a less peaceful place. The black community needs to fix its own fucking problems especially the problem of absentee fathers - until then, using government money to buy them housing in nice areas because of a social-engineering fantasy just proves the old saying: if you throw one rotten apple into a big pile of good apples, the good apples won't fix the rotten apple. The one rotten apple will rot all of the good apples.
