"We were supposed to have a national spectrum policy plan thinking about 5G. It hasn't come out yet, and that was due last April," FCC's Jessica Rosenworcel said.

China is “now showing exactly the behavior that they’re being accused of,” said Roger Entner, founder and lead analyst at Recon Analytics.

The vendor, which has more than 180 private wireless networks deployed to date, is assembling specialized features in a smaller software stack for enterprises.

“There’s certainly an impact here in the short term, and I think longer term there are going to be impacts,” Cisco's Bob Everson said.

“5G in the enterprise space is really a tale of those who will move forward and those who will pause,” said Dan Hays at PwC.

While sales of legacy equipment are in decline, Ericsson reported a strong demand for its cloud-native and 5G portfolio, including multiple large customer wins on the 5G core.

Cisco has a long history of battling counterfeiting of its hardware and outright theft of its software.

The companies are also exploring 5G use cases for massive IoT applications, Verizon's Sampath Sowmyanarayan said.

The Trump administration, which has already effectively killed Huawei’s ambitions in the U.S. market, applauded the decision.

Google's mobile edge cloud allows operators to build virtualized network functions and cloud-native functions for the core, evolved packet core, and radio access network.

The vendor claims 359 4G LTE operators have deployed Nokia frequency division duplex radios that can be upgraded to 5G with the new software.

Verizon recently turned to Amazon Web Services to use the No. 1 cloud provider’s Wavelength edge compute service as the foundation for the Verizon Edge platform.

Dozens of mobile network operators are posing as 5G carriers but none of them are the real thing. Not yet at least.

Verizon didn’t name any vendors involved in its standalone 5G core, and a spokesperson declined to answer a question about whether Nokia is playing a role in that effort.

“By the time we identify the killer app, it will actually be too late,” Ericsson CEO Börje Ekholm said.

The deal will see Verizon go from three RAN vendors to two, including a shocking decision by Verizon to replace all of Nokia’s 4G LTE gear in its network.

The U.S. Federal Reserve considers Deutsche Bank a badly managed lender in “troubled condition” and it has been caught in multiple schemes.

Samsung is also preparing to make dynamic spectrum sharing, a standalone 5G core, and network slicing commercially available before the end of the year.

With the world’s first standards-based mobile 5G networks now up and running for 18 months, the race is on to formally separate 5G as an independent offering.

Hundreds of companies from various market segments have an edge computing offering or strategy, and yet relatively few have cracked the code and built a sustainable edge business.

Dish closed its $1.4 billion purchase of Boost Mobile, gaining more than 9.3 million customers from the divestiture of Sprint’s prepaid business by T-Mobile US.

“The rollout of new technologies like 5G may be delayed, but only in the short term,” GSMA's Mats Granryd said.

Dish's pool of vendors for its yet-to-be built cloud-native, virtualized open radio access network is starting to look strikingly similar to Rakuten Mobile.

Verizon and Microsoft are two of the largest companies to pull advertising from Facebook and Instagram thus far.
