Verizon Plans to Offer Fixed Wireless Residential Broadband

Last week, Verizon announced that it will begin offering fixed wireless residential broadband in a handful of U.S. cities in 2018. Verizon says it will deliver 5G wireless connections to residential subscribers in Sacramento, California as well as a few other cities that will be announced at a later date. As I stated in a November 2017 blog, fixed wireless broadband could help reach more rural consumers throughout the United States, but it also can become a viable competitor to other residential and business broadband technologies located in populated areas.
