5G has a broadcast option, but I’m not sure if that’s supported by any commercially available phone yet.

- namibj 2y agoApart from some old 3G tech demos with TV streaming, none of the user data multi/broad cast functionality from 3GPP cellphone standards reached a usable state in consumer hardware, with the single obvious exception being cell broadcast (basically broadcast SMS, by my understanding).
- lxgr 2y agoI’m also very doubtful, but at least in Austria it’s being touted as a potential DAB alternative. (That might just be a strategic device by the incumbent public transmitter operator though – they have ubiquitous FM coverage, which helps avoid competing programs on DAB out by decreasing the utility of buying a DAB receiver.)
