The Global Race to 5G Wireless Networks

Video above published Sep 11, 2017: Meredith Attwell Baker, Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association president and CEO, discusses the future trends in mobile tech with Bloomberg's Emily Chang on "Bloomberg Technology."

Qualcomm's (QCOM) CEO Steve Mollenkopf on Citi 2017 Global Technology Conference - Transcript | SeekingAlpha.com: "... what we're seeing is that in the preparations for 5G, which are accelerating, we – we're seeing just a bigger pipeline, a bigger funnel of industries that want to come talk to us, which is great. That's sort of environmentally what's going. For Qualcomm, it's a very good thing. We always do well in these transitions. We think we're in our leadership position. We have been assembling assets, things like the RF front-end that we're doing, the RF business. We want to be able to abstract all the complication of 5G for all these new industries that are not prepared to deal with cellular. So it's a great opportunity for us and it’s one of the reasons why we’re doing the acquisition of NXP is to put us in a position from technology to market to go-to market to really take advantage of that."

The Internet Must Be Fast, Fair and Open says FCC Chief Tom Wheeler

"The internet must be fast, fair and open. That is the message I’ve heard from consumers and innovators across this nation. That is the principle that has enabled the internet to become an unprecedented platform for innovation and human expression. And that is the lesson I learned heading a tech startup at the dawn of the internet age. The proposal I present to the commission will ensure the internet remains open, now and in the future, for all Americans."--Tom Wheeler, FCC Chairman, February 4, 2015 (emphasis added, source infra)

FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler: This Is How We Will Ensure Net Neutrality | WIRED: (excerpt below, emphasis added, read more at WIRED link above):

"... The phone network’s openness did not happen by accident, but by FCC rule. How we precisely deliver that kind of openness for America’s broadband networks has been the subject of a debate over the last several months. Originally, I believed that the FCC could assure internet openness through a determination of “commercial reasonableness” under Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. While a recent court decision seemed to draw a roadmap for using this approach, I became concerned that this relatively new concept might, down the road, be interpreted to mean what is reasonable for commercial interests, not consumers. That is why I am proposing that the FCC use its Title II authority to implement and enforce open internet protections. Using this authority, I am submitting to my colleagues the strongest open internet protections ever proposed by the FCC... my proposal will modernize Title II, tailoring it for the 21st century, in order to provide returns necessary to construct competitive networks. For example, there will be no rate regulation, no tariffs, no last-mile unbundling. Over the last 21 years, the wireless industry has invested almost $300 billion under similar rules, proving that modernized Title II regulation can encourage investment and competition. Congress wisely gave the FCC the power to update its rules to keep pace with innovation. Under that authority my proposal includes a general conduct rule that can be used to stop new and novel threats to the internet. This means the action we take will be strong enough and flexible enough not only to deal with the realities of today, but also to establish ground rules for the as yet unimagined..."
