This is why I’m excited for ‘standalone’ 5G – but nervous about it too

You probably don’t think much about the cellular radios you’re using on a daily basis, and that’s likely by design. Phone makers want you to concentrate on features like cameras and processing power, and carriers ultimately want you to focus on their brand name. They’ll brag about having “the best 5G network,” but then skip over what 5G implies beyond “fast.” Perhaps it’s no wonder that so many conspiracy theories emerged around the tech when there was minimal effort into educating people.
