FCC Commissioner Michael O'Rielly has been an articulate advocate in explaining why a government-sponsored 5G network doesn't make sense. The claim by those pushing such a notion seems to be that the government network would make available capacity on a "wholesale" basis to private networks.
In his just-released blog, "Substantive Objections to a Government 5G Wholesale Network," Commissioner O'Rielly explains, once again, why in his view, "the entire effort is jam-packed with insurmountable problems."
That's my view too.
If you haven't already read Commissioner O'Rielly's blog, it's worthwhile doing so.
