President Trump Wants US To Win 5G Through Real Competition (bbc.com) 2

I want the United States to win through competition, not by blocking out currently more advanced technologies. American companies must step up their efforts, or get left behind.” While he did not specifically mention China’s Huawei, many interpreted the comments as Mr Trump taking a softer stance on the firm. The U.S. has been pressuring allies to block out the Chinese telecom giant from their future 5G mobile networks, but the tactic meets considerable resistance. “Mr. President. I cannot agree with you more. Our company is always ready to help build the real 5G network in the U.S., through competition,” Huawei President Ken Hu replied in a tweet, mocking Trump’s frequent usages of the word “real.” Huawei is the second biggest holder of 5G patents after Samsung and the top contributor to the 5G standard, and is setting its sight on 6G.
I thought 5G was just a software update. This is just fake news because everyone is jealous that AT&T are the only people investing in making 5G a reality and were the first to do so.
