    If we wanted to dick measure, you would lose. I’ve managed the deployment of over a half million cell sites in the US and abroad. Been in the room when these businesses were created. Frequency auctions have been held by the FCC for mobile services since Clinton. Go to their web site and check it out for yourself. https://www.fcc.gov/auctions-summary

      https://www.telecoms.com/wireless-networking/verizon-t-mobile-and-us-cellular-lied-on-4g-coverage-but-will-get-away-with-it

      Just read the part where we created a fund for them to fight over to help with the roll out … Wait here I’ll paste it for you.

      " Interestingly enough, the FCC does not currently have any plans to punish the trio, instead has created a new initiative to apply for federal funds. All three will be invited to apply for the Government hand-out. This is perhaps the latest example of a toothless watchdog, with the bureaucrats in charge in procession of the same spine as a lifeless slug.

      The new fund will make $9 billion available to ensure 5G connectivity reaches the areas in the US which the telcos elect to ignore."

      Don’t be draft thinking you know what goes on above your paygrade. All and every teleco are the definition of leeches. And for shure get money from DA gubberment.

      And more than once.

        Yes the US government funds the delivery of rural telephone and broadband. Nothing new.

          You didn’t read the part where this was about poor 4g coverage and future 5g.

          Good job missing the literal subject of the reports.
