Below are tweets from today by Free State Foundation President Randolph May that reassert the U.S. policy strongly favoring private sector-led commercial mobile wireless services and push back against the idea of the Department of Defense entering the 5G commercial market to compete against private enterprise.
The US's #5G approach is not flawed - it's the @ericschmidt @FT op-ed that's flawed, for sure. US mobile broadband markets lead Europe and the world because US wireless carriers invested $29 Billion in infrastructure last year and $286 Billion over last 10 years. https://t.co/faxEmUdIQQ

Here's an @FSFthinktank paper showing competitiveness of US #broadband market & the extent of private sector investment, incl'g #wireless for #5G. New ideas are always welcome, but ultimately the success of US in #5G depends on private sector investment. https://t.co/QvMZY78uho
