Hi Bob 5G is available IN HOMES via Verizon in a few cities NOW Verizon’s main caveats are that it’s only launching 5G in “parts of” its four initial cities right now, and it is using “5G TF” equipment that will need to be updatedto 3GPP standards-compliant 5G in the future. Based on prior personal experience with FIOS buildouts, Verizon might take years to extend its broadband services as promised or stop short of covering a full city. It’s also unclear when and how mobile 5G devices such as smartphones will be usable on the Verizon 5G network. https://venturebeat.com/2018/10/01/verizon-activates-worlds-first-5g-network-in-4-u-s-cities/ I've read phones and networks won't really be available until mid 2020 which means the boyz hammered our semicap equipment stocks in 2018 to try and get good prices before the volume ramp that should start by my calculations in mid 2019... like months away, hence why I've been buying and it seems the bottom is already in.
