thewayneW00ties! From the article: "Sprint said that a survey showed 54 percent of AT&T’s consumers believed their “5G E” network is the same as or better than a 5G network and 43 percent said if they buy an AT&T phone today, it would be capable of running on 5G." and "...Sprint said it plans to release 5G smartphones with Samsung Electronics Co Ltd in the United States during the summer, while rival Verizon Communications Inc in December also disclosed similar plans for the first half of 2019."
This is part of the problem - there ARE NO 5G PHONES RIGHT NOW. Yes, 4G can be upgraded and you'll get better performance, but calling it 5G or 5GE is pure fluff.
Of course the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission have been utterly silent on the issue.
Break out the popcorn (with lots of butter, at least for me), this should be entertaining!
