Although 5g will be accompanied by huge capital outlays, it also brings a huge increase in network capacity.

If this excess wireless capacity finds customers, then costs per GB decline sharply in spite of new 5g capital spending.

Verizon and T-Mobile are actively implementing plans to do this by creating real competition for Charter and Comcast by selling 5g internet and television services. Both companies plan to convert most customers to 5g through aggressive upgrade discounts.

T-Mobile currently offers a proprietary 5g wireless home cable service through Layer3, a company they acquired. layer3tv.com An FCC filing T-Mobile made in support of their merger with Sprint says they'll be able to offer in-home 5G "cable service" to 52 percent of US zip codes by the year 2024.

Verizon is also starting with a proprietary 5g wireless home cable service, in some markets, before 5g phones roll-out with a proprietary 5g-TF. verizonwireless.com

AT&T is short on cash so has plans to offer two seriously bad products, continuing their commitment to being the bad quality telecom provider with the name you trust.

AT&T has only committed only to high-frequency 5g which doesn't travel far and requires a lot of transmitters, so it will be built-out only in high-density areas of certain markets - expanding capacity through 5g only in areas where they absolutely, positively need more capacity.

In the interim, all new AT&T phones have rebranded 4g connections as 5ge (5g-Evolution), as in someday they might actually have a 5g network, but certainly not now and maybe not even during your lifetime in your home market.

AT&T plans an equally bad wireless home cable service using 4g LTE transmitters built to operate on the unregulated CB Radio band - a low quality wireless cable product to complement their truly awful cell phone service.
