If you're thinking a 5G phone is the big idea, think again: The newest "G" might make a bigger difference in your home and car. (featuring the voice of Brian Cooley)

    What did you guys think of this video? Do you want to see us do more animated videos? (these are hard to do!) What should we cover next?

    100 years later, people in the comment sections: "I'm good with my 79G, no need for that new 80G."

    "You'll feel it in your bones" Heard it here first folks, were all doomed

    This sounds like the beginning of the end Idk why 😂

    5g is too much! Normally you should take 0.5g
  • @R4K1B-
    The point of 5G is not data usage It's about the massively reduced latency and stronger connectivity
  • @gabriella3102
    This video perfectly fit into the Black Mirror tv universe
  • @uydudanbak
    I want to know about hardware.. Difference bitwin 4g n 5g devices in a chip level.. Things level..
  • @samehsamir4241
    which software you use to make this video animation ? and thank you for your great presentation ...

    DoD already used up a big part of the 5G MMW frequencies (spectrum allocation for 5G), leaving less commercial use. The excerpt below explains why the U.S. is still struggling with 5G in terms of implementation. According to the National Security Implications of Fifth Generation (5G) Mobile Technologies document and excerpt to find out why the U.S. is still behind with 5G in building up capacity. ("The Department of Defense (DOD), however, holds large portions of the usable spectrum. Although DOD uses certain MMW frequencies for high-profile military applications such as Advanced Extremely High-Frequency satellites that provide assured global communications for U.S. forces, it extensively uses sub-6 frequencies—leaving less sub-6 availability in the United States than in other countries. The Defense Innovation Board (DIB) advised DOD to consider sharing sub-6 spectrum to facilitate the build-out of 5G networks and the development of 5G technologies used in the sub-6 band. While DOD has been moving toward greater spectrum sharing, it has expressed concern that sharing presents operational, interference, and security issues for DOD users. As an alternative to spectrum sharing, some analysts have argued that portions of the sub-6 spectrum should be reserved for commercial use. This would require DOD to relocate certain applications to other parts of the spectrum. The DIB estimates this approach would take around 10 years to complete, as opposed to 5 years for spectrum sharing.")

    It's nice to see someone getting the variety of 5G bands right. All too often we hear 5G uses high frequencies with short range, ignoring all the other bands that can be used.
