I am a not exactly a gadget freak and have the regular phones. But I keep multiple phones because if there's a network issue in one, then I can use another one.
The media, while they won't admit it, are not in the news business; they're in entertainment. We tried to create the most entertaining, visually attractive scenes ... so that the networks would have to use it.
We feel there is already widespread broadband available today.
5G is no longer just a buzzword.
I know how important it is to have affordable and reliable access to cell and Internet services.
One thing that I can tell you that we have not done very well is to build in broadcast capability into the network, and we don't take advantage of broadcast radio.
With news, especially investigative pieces, you've got to be really smart and really lucky to be timely and to not get beaten by the big guys. You can't go head-to-head with the networks.
5G trials will accelerate in 2018, and in 2019, we can expect to see meaningful deployment in the U.S., China, and potentially other markets like Japan.
5G will come. We can debate when in certain parts of the world. But it's quite clear that the race is heating up in North America and Northeast Asia.
Consumers deserve to know exactly what they're getting for their money when they sign-up for a 4G data plan.
The proliferation of mobile broadband networks combined with local area hot spots is bringing the dream of seamless and ubiquitous connectivity closer to reality.
We think that 5G will likely last longer and be deeper than first thought.
I didn't have a cell phone for awhile, until I was, like, 13 or 14, and before then, even if I did have one, it didn't work.
I had better cellular coverage on a ship in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea than I have in many parts of Silicon Valley.
5G is not going to replace 4G. 4G and 4.5G are going to coexist with 5G.
There's nothing special about wireless networks except that wireless capacity is sometimes less than what you can get, for example, from optical fiber.
When we talk about national infrastructure, we often discuss roads and railroads, but as a matter of fact, mobile infrastructure is equally as important.
I think that wireless has the opportunity to solve a whole bunch of problems, including I believe world poverty.
I use Verizon. My wife uses Cingular. I also have an AT&T phone for the car.
We have the global scale, but not everyone has 4G in the world.
The problem with the mobile industry is that it deals with an intangible service which is largely similar across major players. Most consumers cannot tell the difference between Vodafone and Orange, or AT&T and Verizon in the U.S., beyond the colors and the logos. I suspect neither can the companies.
When we travel to other countries, the Internet speed is so much slower. So I think in terms of technology, 5G and Internet speed, Korea has an absolute advantage over other countries.
It was a presidential election year, and as a member of a consortium of Ivy League radio stations, we participated in 'network' coverage of election night.
We're obsessed with making sure that voice and video work well even on low-end phones.
Data transmission is no longer something scary you don't want in your backyard. Now you want it directly in front of your house.
