I’ve finally got it: it’s the evolution of AT&T’s old Edge network — now that they’ve moved everyone to 3G and “4G” and LTE, Edge is faster than LTE. So naturally they christen it “5G”. https://t.co/n6NNizKYIv

Yes, I am going to keep bringing this up all day. Too many people have worked way too hard on making 5G a reality for billions of users around the world for unscrupulous hacks to undermine consumer trust in it. If you do stuff like this, you will be busted. https://t.co/Z7jzhgcOgD

Analysis from @opensignal finally adds substance to the 5Ge debate. In short... it is no different than LTE Advanced Pro. It performs better than older revisions of LTE. It performs just like other LTE Advanced Pro networks and devices. https://t.co/c4z9ymgYLN

I imagine this is the conversation that went on at @ATT a few months ago…

Randall Stephenson: “Let’s call it 5G”

AT&T staffer: “But it’s not 5G, sir, it’s LTE”

Randall: “Just add a letter to the end of it, no one will know the difference!”https://t.co/Q1Q1S2tjU1
