News and comments to understand telecom and the net, now AI as well I'm always trying to get closer to the truth. Dave Burstein. [email protected] Many tweets

China has 95% 5G coverage, almost all massive MIMO. Over 2M cells. Now building indoor heavily. lightreading.com/5g/5g-is-growi…

Usual duplicitous nonsense from GSMA - Repeats the "large traffic generator" lie - Complains about traffic growth yet promotes 5G FWA - No ref to MNOs needing to do more R&D - No mention of indoor wireless - Ignores role of non-MNO private 5G - Negative on local shared spectrum

The @GSMA’s annual European #MobileEconomy Report is now out! 📈 It shows that mobile contributed Eur 910 billion of value to Europe’s economy in 2022, whilst mobile operators will continue to face real investment challenges as bandwidth demands grow. 📶Mobile data traffic in…

"The telecom industry looks rotten to the core." Iain Morris @Light_Reading His facts are accurate: capex & job cuts, stock prices down. No good ideas for growth or increased profit. That's hard on the industry but good for society. We're getting the connectivity we need, cheaper

OpenRAN is making progress but remains far from goals. In U.S. government tests, pairs of vendors could interoperate but the "connect with any OpenRAN" wasn't demonstated. ntia.gov/blog/2023/one-… The promised capex savings haven't shown up, either.

The AI research - not policy - is that good. We should learn the value of immigration. Many of the key researchers are from China & many other countries. Even Canada

"People are simply not ready to pay more for 5G. They’re totally content with 4G, Many still ask, why would I pay more for doing the same thing?”@Ronan_Omdia to @jiyoungjsohn WSJ The 5G Emperor has no clothes. Korea was first to 5G. 5 years later, no apps need more than 50 Mbps

Sales are down @ericsson is doing dumb things
