Ka nānā pono ʻana i ke kaula uila vs. 5G paʻa uea ʻole

E hāʻawi anei ʻo 5G a me ka midband spectrum iā AT&T, Verizon lāua ʻo T-Mobile i ka hiki ke hoʻokūkū pololei i nā mea hoʻolako pūnaewele uwea o ka lāhui me kā lākou mau mōhai broadband ponoʻī i loko o ka home?

ʻO kahi pane piha a kani nui hoʻi penei: "ʻAʻole maoli. ʻAʻole i kēia manawa."

E noʻonoʻo:

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo T-Mobile i ka pule i hala e manaʻo ana e loaʻa ma waena o 7 miliona a me 8 miliona mau mea kūʻai aku pūnaewele uea ʻole paʻa i loko o nā makahiki ʻelima e hiki mai ana ma nā wahi kuaʻāina a me nā kūlanakauhale. ʻOiai ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o kēlā ma mua o kahi o 3 miliona mau mea kūʻai aku i wānana mua ʻia e nā loiloi kālā ma Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. i loko o kēlā manawa paʻakikī, aia nō hoʻi ma lalo o nā kuhi a T-Mobile i hāʻawi ai i ka makahiki 2018, i ka wā i ʻōlelo ai e loaʻa iā ia he 9.5 miliona mau mea kūʻai aku i loko o kēlā wā maʻamau. Eia kekahi, ʻaʻole i hoʻokomo ka pahuhopu mua a nui a T-Mobile i ka $10 biliona ma ka spectrum C-band i loaʻa i ka mea hoʻohana - ʻo ka pahuhopu hou a liʻiliʻi a ka mea hoʻohana. ʻO ke ʻano kēia, ma hope o ka hana ʻana i kahi hoʻāʻo uea ʻole paʻa LTE me kahi o 100,000 mau mea kūʻai aku, ua loaʻa iā T-Mobile nā ​​spectrum hou aʻe a ua hoʻohaʻahaʻa hoʻi i kāna mau manaʻolana uea ʻole paʻa.

Ua ʻōlelo mua ʻo Verizon e uhi ana ia i 30 miliona mau hale me ka hāʻawi pūnaewele uea ʻole paʻa i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka makahiki 2018, ma ke ʻano he manaʻo ma kāna mau paʻa spectrum millimeter wave (mmWave). I ka pule i hala aku nei, ua hoʻokiʻekiʻe ka mea lawelawe i kēlā pahuhopu uhi i 50 miliona ma ka makahiki 2024 ma nā wahi kuaʻāina a me nā kūlanakauhale, akā ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ma kahi o 2 miliona o kēlā mau hale e uhi ʻia e mmWave. ʻO ke koena e uhi nui ʻia e nā paʻa spectrum C-band a Verizon. Eia kekahi, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Verizon e manaʻo ana ia e loaʻa nā loaʻa kālā mai ka lawelawe ma kahi o $1 biliona ma ka makahiki 2023, kahi helu a nā loiloi kālā ma Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. i ʻōlelo ai he 1.5 miliona wale nō nā mea kākau inoa.

Eia naʻe, ua hāʻawi ʻo AT&T i nā ʻōlelo hōʻino loa. "Ke hoʻohana ʻoe i ka uea ʻole e hoʻoponopono no nā lawelawe e like me ka fiber i loko o kahi ʻano paʻa, ʻaʻohe ou mana," wahi a ke poʻo pūnaewele AT&T ʻo ​​Jeff McElfresh iā Marketplace, me ka ʻike ʻana he ʻokoʻa paha ke kūlana ma nā wahi kuaʻāina. No kahi hui kēia e uhi mua ana i 1.1 miliona mau wahi kuaʻāina me nā lawelawe uea ʻole paʻa a nānā pono i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka broadband ma ka home ma kāna pūnaewele fiber. (ʻOiai he mea kūpono ke hoʻomaopopo ʻana ua hahai ʻo AT&T iā Verizon a me T-Mobile ma ka loaʻa ʻana o ka spectrum holoʻokoʻa a me nā pahuhopu kūkulu C-band.)

Ua ʻoluʻolu loa nā ʻoihana uwea o ka lāhui i kēia mau ʻōlelo hoʻopunipuni uea ʻole. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ua hāʻawi ʻo Tom Rutledge, ka Luna Nui o Charter Communications, i kekahi mau manaʻo wānana ma kahi hanana hoʻopukapuka kālā i hala koke aku nei, e like me nā loiloi o New Street, i kona ʻae ʻana hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i kahi ʻoihana ma ke uea ʻole. Eia naʻe, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia e pono ʻoe e hoʻolei i kahi kālā nui a me ka spectrum ma ka pilikia no ka mea e loaʻa iā ʻoe nā loaʻa kālā like (ma kahi o $50 i kēlā me kēia mahina) mai kahi mea kūʻai aku kelepona akamai e hoʻopau ana i 10GB i kēlā me kēia mahina e like me kāu e hana ai mai kahi mea kūʻai aku broadband home e hoʻohana ana ma kahi o 700GB i kēlā me kēia mahina.

Ua like kēlā mau helu me nā kuhi hou. No ka laʻana, ua hōʻike ʻo Ericsson ua hoʻopau nā mea hoʻohana kelepona akamai ʻAmelika ʻĀkau i ka awelika o 12GB o ka ʻikepili i kēlā me kēia mahina i ka makahiki 2020. Ma kahi ʻē aʻe, ua ʻike ka noiʻi a OpenVault i nā mea hoʻohana broadband home ua ʻoi aku ka hoʻohana ʻana ma mua o 482.6GB i kēlā me kēia mahina i ka hapaha ʻehā o 2020, mai 344GB i ka hapaha o ka makahiki i hala.

ʻO ka mea hope loa, ʻo ka nīnau inā ʻike ʻoe i ke aniani Pūnaewele Uila Paʻa e like me ka hapalua piha a i ʻole ka hapalua hakahaka. Ma ka nānā ʻana i ka hapalua piha, ke hoʻohana nei ʻo Verizon, AT&T a me T-Mobile i ka ʻenehana e hoʻonui i kahi mākeke hou a loaʻa ka loaʻa kālā ʻaʻole lākou e loaʻa. A, hiki paha, i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa hiki iā lākou ke hoʻonui i kā lākou mau makemake Uila Paʻa i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana o nā ʻenehana a hiki mai ka spectrum hou i ka mākeke.

Akā i ka nānā ʻana i ka hapalua hakahaka, loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi ʻekolu o nā mea hana e hana nei ma kēia kumuhana no ka hapa nui o kahi ʻumi makahiki, a ʻaneʻane ʻaʻohe mea e hōʻike ai no ia mea, koe wale nō kahi kahawai mau o nā pou pahuhopu i hoʻololi ʻia.

Ua maopopo he wahi ko nā lawelawe pūnaewele uea ʻole paʻa - ma hope o nā mea a pau, kokoke i 7 miliona mau ʻAmelika e hoʻohana nei i ka ʻenehana i kēia lā, ʻo ka hapa nui ma nā wahi kuaʻāina - akā e hoʻomau anei ia i nā mea e like me Comcast lāua ʻo Charter i ka pō? ʻAʻole maoli. Ma ka liʻiliʻi ʻaʻole i kēia manawa.
