AT&T's primary 5G achievement is a little light in new phones which says '5Ge' when ever their customer is connected to a 4G-LTE connection. The 'e' means evolution, as in 10,000 years it might evolve into 5G. As T-Mobile and Verizon continue to quickly upgrade 4G-LTE equipment to 5G networks, the difference between their networks and the AT&T network will become very noticeable. AT&T has a very big dividend which has to be paid before network infrastructure budgets are made up. In addition, AT&T has a far more limited portfolio of 5G friendly spectrum. . With Deutsche Telekom providing the cheap German capital, T-Mobile-(sprint) will soon be the dominant cell phone provider in America, followed by Verizon, with AT&T trailing far behind.

Europe has a lot of "national cell phone providers" which limits the easy growth of firms like Deutsche Telekom which has created a more global presence. Deutsche Telekom has built-out their own cell phone network in 25 of the 28 European nations. Deutsche Telekom owns major cell phone networks and 11 other nations as well. Canada - United States - Mexico Argentina - Brazil China - India - Malaysia - Russia - Singapore - South Africa Within Europe, Deutsche Telekom is by far the major telecom network - but that still sums to only a 21% market share. That's why they're investing so heavily in North America and other economies. US market shares are currently 35% Verizon, 34% AT&T and 30% T-Mobile. —— AT&T is going to be busy competing on price for poor service with the new Charter Communications cell network.
