Ukubhekisisa ikhebula ngokumelene ne-5G engenantambo engaguquki

Ingabe i-5G ne-midband spectrum izonikeza i-AT&T, Verizon ne-T-Mobile ikhono lokubekela inselelo ngokuqondile abahlinzeki be-inthanethi bezintambo zezwe ngeminikelo yabo ye-broadband yasekhaya?

Impendulo egcwele emphinjeni, enomsindo ibonakala ithi: "Hhayi-ke, akunjalo. Okungenani hhayi njengamanje."

I-T-Mobile ithe ngesonto eledlule ilindele ukuzuza amakhasimende e-inthanethi angenantambo aphakathi kwezigidi ezingu-7 nezingu-8 phakathi neminyaka emihlanu ezayo ezindaweni zasemakhaya nasemadolobheni.Nakuba lokho kuphezulu kakhulu kunamakhasimende acishe abe yizigidi ezi-3 ayebikezelwe abahlaziyi bezezimali e-Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. phakathi naleso sikhathi esinzima, futhi kungaphansi kwezilinganiso ezinikezwe i-T-Mobile ngo-2018, lapho ithi izothola izigidi ezingu-9.5. amakhasimende ngaphakathi kwaleso sikhathi esijwayelekile.Ngaphezu kwalokho, umgomo wokuqala we-T-Mobile, omkhulu awuzange uhlanganise u-$10 webhiliyoni ku-spectrum ye-C-band u-opharetha asanda kuwuthola - umgomo omusha, omncane wesisebenzisi uyawenza.Lokhu kusho ukuthi, ngemva kokwenza umshayeli wendiza ongenantambo we-LTE onamakhasimende angaba ngu-100,000, i-T-Mobile yomibili ithole i-spectrum eyengeziwe futhi yehlisa nokulindelwe okungaguquki okungenantambo.

I-Verizon iqale yathi izohlanganisa amakhaya afinyelela ezigidini ezingama-30 nge-inthanethi engenantambo engaguquki eyethulwa ngo-2018, okungenzeka ukuthi itholakala ku-spectrum yayo ye-millimeter wave (mmWave).Ngesonto eledlule opharetha wakhuphula leyo nhloso yokufakwa ezigidini ezingama-50 ngo-2024 ezindaweni zasemakhaya nasemadolobheni, kodwa wathi cishe izigidi ezimbili kulawo makhaya azokhavwa yi-mmWave.Okunye cishe kuzombozwa ikakhulukazi yi-Verizon's C-band spectrum holds.Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Verizon ithe ilindele ukuthi imali engenayo evela kusevisi ibe cishe ku-$1 bhiliyoni ngo-2023, inani abahlaziyi bezezimali eSanford C. Bernstein & Co. lisho ababhalisile abayizigidi ezingu-1.5 kuphela.

I-AT&T, nokho, inikeze ukuphawula okubi kakhulu kukho konke."Uma ufaka okungenantambo ukuze uxazulule izinsiza ezifana ne-fiber endaweni eminyene, awunawo amandla," isikhulu senethiwekhi ye-AT&T uJeff McElfresh sitshele iMarketplace, siphawula ukuthi isimo singahluka ezindaweni zasemakhaya.Lokhu kuvela enkampanini esivele ikhava izindawo zasemakhaya eziyizigidi eziyi-1.1 ngezinsizakalo ezingenantambo futhi ilandelela eduze ukusetshenziswa kwe-broadband yasekhaya kunethiwekhi yayo ye-fiber.(Yize kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi i-AT&T ilandela i-Verizon ne-T-Mobile kubo bonke ubunikazi be-spectrum kanye nokuhlosiwe kwe-C-band yokwakha.)

Izinkampani zamakhebula zesizwe ngokungangabazeki zijabulile yikho konke lokhu kugwedla okungenazintambo okungaguquki.Ngempela, i-Charter Communications CEO u-Tom Rutledge unikeze ukuphawula okubalulekile emcimbini wakamuva wabatshalizimali, ngokusho kwabahlaziyi be-New Street, lapho evuma ukuthi ungenza ibhizinisi lisebenze ku-wireless engashintshi.Kodwa-ke, uthe uzodinga ukuphonsa imali eningi kanye ne-spectrum odabeni uma ucabangela ukuthi uzothola imali efanayo (cishe ama-dollar angu-50 ngenyanga) ekhasimendeni le-smartphone elisebenzisa u-10GB ngenyanga njengoba ubungenza kukhasimende le-broadband ekhaya. usebenzisa cishe u-700GB ngenyanga.

Lezo zinombolo zicishe zihambisane nezilinganiso zakamuva.Isibonelo, u-Ericsson ubike ukuthi abasebenzisi be-smartphone baseNyakatho Melika basebenzise isilinganiso esingaba ngu-12GB wedatha ngenyanga ngo-2020. Ngokuhlukile, ucwaningo lwe-OpenVault lwabasebenzisi be-broadband ekhaya luthole ukusetshenziswa okumaphakathi kwenyuke ku-482.6GB ngenyanga engxenyeni yesine ka-2020, kusuka ku-344GB ngo-2020. ikota yonyaka odlule.

Ekugcineni, umbuzo uwukuthi ingabe ubona ingilazi ye-Inthanethi engenantambo engaguquki njengengxenye egcwele noma ingenalutho.Ngokubuka okugcwele, i-Verizon, i-AT&T ne-T-Mobile zonke zisebenzisa ubuchwepheshe ukuze zandise zibe yimakethe entsha futhi zithole imali ebezingeke zibe nayo.Futhi, ngokunokwenzeka, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi bangakwazi ukwandisa izifiso zabo ezingenantambo njengoba ubuchwepheshe buthuthuka futhi i-spectrum entsha iza emakethe.

Kodwa ekubukeni okungenalutho okuyingxenye, unabasebenzisi abathathu abebesebenza ngalesi sihloko ingxenye engcono kakhulu yeshumi leminyaka, futhi kuze kube manje abanalutho abangalubonisa, ngaphandle kokulandelana okucishe kube njalo kokuthunyelwe kwegoli okuguquliwe.

Kuyacaca ukuthi izinsiza ze-inthanethi ezingenazintambo zinendawo yazo – phela, cishe abantu baseMelika abacishe babe yizigidi eziyisi-7 basebenzisa ubuchwepheshe namuhla, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni zasemakhaya – kodwa ingabe buzogcina ukuthandwa kwe-Comcast kanye ne-Charter ebusuku?Akunjalo Empeleni.Okungenani hhayi njengamanje.
