- wmf 3y agoA lot of people have gotten irrationally 5G-pilled into thinking that being "first" to 5G matters (it doesn't) or that 5G will massively grow carrier revenue (it won't).
- bombcar 3y ago5G has a slight chance of turning wired customers into wireless. But look at the big wired carriers and notice that the names are very similar to the big wireless carriers. It just moves customers around, it’s not creating new business.
- numpad0 3y agoIsn't Cisco also the arch enemy for telcos as well? Good luck to them with their ATM(not the bank machine) and ISDN and all, and they have since converted to IP, but still.
- bombcar 3y agoCisco is a cost center for telcos. They have a love/hate relationship because of that - but it’s more on the love side than the hate side. Big telcos have enough influence to push Cisco around, because Cisco competitors DO exist.
