Tmobile's new vague plan for providing home internet over 5g sounds fine, but it is a slow rollout, only promising coverage for 9.5 million customers by 2024.
With many more providers of broadband coming in the next 10 years (gulp, that's painful to type, it is so slow to come), there should be change by then by the comcasts of the world.
- joecool1029 8y agoNeville (their CTO) has repeatedly said in talks that offering fixed home internet isn't sexy[1], the company isn't relying on it. The reason you hear John cheerleading it now is that they need to have as many compelling reasons to let sprint spectrum acquisition happen. I would rather see extra spectrum given to T-Mobile as they do have a good track record of beating rollout estimates and repack dates. I don't want to see asshole spectrum squatters like DISH sitting on huge blocks for years with nothing to show for it.
