Shooting ones own foot seems to be very popular in western culture ;-)

Hmmm. A map made back in July is pretty much ancient history in 5G, as events are changing many things rapidly. Still didn't find it that easy to locate alternative sources of info. Most of the "by country" lists I found in a quick look with date limited search... were recently penned articles, but still presenting much older data. Too many lazy journalists out there... Africa was easy to parse... whatever they might do in the future... they've mostly not even implemented 4G yet... so, really not that much to see there... Canada an interesting case, mostly because of how "sorry" about it Trudeau is likely to be, any time a decision about anything has to be made. But, it seems with a bit more effort poking at it, most of his waffling has been about trying to avoid his having to pay for anything... so "leaving it up to the companies" to decide... as a "free market" dodge on his being hooked into paying any of the costs. Change happening there, too, though... Did hear something of a drone buzzing in the background, recently, on a Youtube feed that I failed to attend well... that had Pompeo puffing proudly about some accomplishment... In poking at yours, ran across this, with a more recent map, probably what that was all about... The U.S. basically doesn't have a dog in the 5G hunt... so, other than providing others access to higher end chips, its not a competitive issue, or one that has the U.S. strong-arming others in an attempt to take away their business... its only about standards. That probably leaves the U.S. in a much stronger position... as it means shifts in the business being left open... more likely to result in new partnerships including more of the ownership shared by the locals. Found links showing Ericsson is installing in Argentina, now... and got similar results showing on most of those places listed as in some state of indecision... as they are in fact proceeding with similar partnerships as Argentina, many already installing now. A lot of it seems to be... proceeding with partnerships that are implementing even "without making a decision"... mostly, like Canada, to avoid the need for announcing a decision being made. Russia, like Canada, an interesting case... apparently already "committed"... but, also, recently decided that they'd defund the effort that was being undertaken to make the spectrum available... so... it covers a very big part of the map... but not that much of the market ? In the context of " how to lie with statistics"... it might be interesting to see the same map redrawn based on market geography, instead of physical geography.
