InDaTechNews! ATT 39GHz! | CBRS Auction | PSA S20 UWB VZW | VZW 5G HOME | DISH TMO TROUBLE! | More By The Techxtremist

Good evening YouTube how's everybody doing this is tech, extremists and welcome to in the tech news. We got several articles to run by you from multiple sources. Let's go ahead and get started. The first ones going to be from fierce wireless comm, and it reads: AT&T ready to roll on 39 gigahertz following FCC license application approval. So basically the FCC is now going to allow 18 t to go ahead and deploy their 39 gigahertz Holdings, and why is this important? Well, first, off Verizon has a lot more of this stuff than AT&T does, but now it's going to allow AT&T to get even closer and also closer to T-Mobile, so before they only had about 379 megahertz of this stuff. Compare that to over a thousand that Verizon had, and I think over a thousand for T-Mobile.

Well now we know that Verizon has more than that I think they have about three thousand I could be wrong. Correct me if I'm wrong, but now AT&T is going to have at least one thousand forty megahertz on average nationwide. So it's not at least it'll be an average. So they'll have a little less in some spots. They'll have a little more in others, but this is good because it'll allow them to reach those multi gigabit speeds that you all have seen with those you know: millimeter wave tests so perfect stuff for AT&T they're going to be calling this 5g plus.

We do have some of that stuff rolled out here in Phoenix, at least in the 24 gigahertz band. So with this added capacity, it's going to allow them to reach faster speeds, because right now, currently, I'm only seen about anywhere from 150 to 250 megabits per second on those hundred megahertz. So now think about 1,000 megahertz of this stuff and obviously combined, and they'll have to be some aggregation. But the point is that there'll be more capacity, so you'll start seeing speeds more like what Verizon is putting out at least on AT&T as well so good stuff for AT&T. You know in combination with their mid-band spectrum nation.

They have a pretty good spectrum position in my opinion and that as good as T-Mobile, you know a little better on the mid-band or a lot better on the mid-band and Verizon, but not as good on the millimeter-wave has, so they all have gaps, I think the best the most balanced spectrum position out. There is probably team oval right now. So we'll keep an eye on this. If I see any of this stuff rolled out, I'll, let you know- or at least if they start rolling it out- and we start you know, hearing about tests, I'll, definitely let you know, but anyway, I'll go ahead and move on to the next article fears wire. Let's not come again: FCC advances 70 to 90 gigahertz changes to support wireless 5g back haul all right.

So this is one of the most interesting things that people don't talk about with millimeter wave. Obviously, now we're looking at bands that are even higher than what even Verizon is currently using and what we just mentioned with AT&T at 39 gigahertz, which I think Verizon and T-Mobile also have, but now we're looking at 70 to 90 gigahertz. This stuff is probably not going to be any good at the point like millimeter wave is currently being deployed, so what they're doing is they're, making it easier to be used as Wireless 5g back haul, so basically Verizon, AT&T T-Mobile, take your pick. It's going away, you know be able to put out small cells, and they're going to be able to give it give those small cells' back haul using this spectrum, obviously with probably line-of-sight, but the FCC on Tuesday voted unanimously to advance changes for better use of the 70 80 90 gigahertz bands, including allowing smaller antennas, which is key here to support wireless back haul for 5g. The proposed changes for smaller antennas could help lower-cost, facilitate network identification and help support the provision of by a call for emergency emerging 5g services.

This is perfect. Stuff. I can't wait to see how they use it. You know all the carriers perfect to be able to deploy antennas out there without having to run cable everywhere. So we'll keep an eye out on this, as news develops on this kind of stuff, but I always envision that someone like Verizon would use some of their existing millimeter wave spectrum.

What they have now, you know for back haul for small cells. I haven't really heard of it much anymore, but you know that was one of the things that I thought they were done you know. Hopefully, this type of spectrum will allow even more of that, but anyway, let's go ahead and move on to the Nissan. Next one fierce wireless comm, AT&T Verizon T-Mobile Cox Charter among CUBERS bidders alright, so we already kind of had known who was going to bid. You know T-Mobile had back in February mentioned this.

Neville Ray had said that potentially or that they would participate along those lines anyway. The FCC today said it was. It has received 348 applications from parties interested in bidding and the CBR s priority access licenses auction, which is scheduled to begin July 23rd. As expected, applicants include the big three carriers- AT&T Verizon and T-Mobile, as well as cable operators, Cox and charter dish is also planning to a bit under the name, weather horn or wet or Horn Wireless. So everybody is anticipating.

Verizon is probably going to be. The big winner in this they've already had made their intention clear to go all out on this auction, so I do fully anticipate for Verizon to gain a good amount of this spectrum. I believe there's going to be 300 megahertz of the spectrum available for you know, for purchase or for auction or for bidding, and so we'll keep an eye out on it. But this will be very important specifically for team for Verizon and then also for 18 t but more for Verizon than anybody, because they are lacking in the mid-band space or in the mid-band spectrum. T-Mobile probably doesn't need it as much.

What T-Mobile will probably use it for is their. If you look at any spectrum map, there are some spots in the United States I. Think Nebraska. If I'm not mistaken, is one of them that you know does lack fire. You know 2.5 gigahertz, gigahertz spectrum from Sprint, so let's go ahead and see we can search for that real, quick. Let's just go to google and type in sprint: 2.5 gigahertz, oops spectrum, Holdings I, think that will pop it up images, so I think the Brassier is one of them. I think they have low holdings in several other places, but I don't remember up the top of my head.

Let's say we can find a map right, quick without wasting too much time here. All right, I think this might be one of them so yeah. So you see there all of those areas, including I, think that's Virginia. Yes, so you can basically take a look at this map yourself, but there are some spots where you know. Oh, this is PCs, I'm, sorry I apologize that will check myself fact check me, and I'm.

Failing myself. Let's see, let's go look at the 2.5. There is a 2.5 one. That's PCs! That's a bad! Ok, let's see! Is it this one 10 links yep 2.5, and so this is a Sam yeah. So you see all those yellow areas.

They only have about 10 to 15 megahertz up down the down line spectrum combined at least before the auction. So you would think that some of these areas here this is where T-Mobile is probably going to bid to try to your know, get a more consistent spectrum position. So like say, for example, here in Arizona up here, I think this is north of Flagstaff and even Flagstaff. I mean I. Think Flagstaff is pretty thin.

I'll, probably try to bid on areas like that. Try to get you know, 40 60 megahertz, just to see what was pretty selective about how they do these auctions. So that's what I anticipate they're, not gonna, go out and try to outbid Verizon they're, just going to try to get where they can get it cheaply and fill in some of these gaps right here. So this is the map right here. It's on anyway, I'll try to put a link on the description area, but that's the map right there.

Alright, let's go ahead and move on to the next one alright, so this is kind of a PSA somebody Terrell brought it up. His channel is listed on my channels or favorite channels, but he basically pointed out hey. You know what the s20 from Verizon the millimeter-wave one, the 5g one has less RAM, and it doesn't have an SD card slot. So you got to keep that in mind when you go out and buy this phone from Verizon you're, not gonna, get the SD card slot, and you're going to get less RAM than the standard s 20, which has 12 gigabytes of RAM. So I'm not gonna, get into complete details on this article, but when you are buying a Verizon s20, you are getting a lesser device other than the millimeter-wave.

Personally, it wouldn't be an issue for me because if I bought that phone, it wouldn't be a gaming device for me- and you know, most of these devices run fine on eight gigabytes of RAM. To be honest with you and the ultra-wideband on such a small device would be a plus, although maybe there are questions about battery life there. But you know so this is this: article is from the verge comm by the way, just to give credit. So if you want to read it I'll put a link in the description area, but yeah. Definitely you know they don't have the spectrum, the know the SD card and the extra RAM that the other ones have.

So keep that in mind if you are buying one from Verizon PSA. Just so you know a lot of people see it seem oblivious to the fact. So you are basically getting a lesser device, but with better connectivity because of that vulture wideband for 90% of you, that's just not going to matter, so you might want to step up to the S 20 plus. If you can handle the size, or you can, you know not get one from Verizon I think that would be the other way, but anyway, let's go ahead and move on to the next thing here. So this is interesting.

This is from cnet. com. We really haven't seen or heard anything about any new Verizon 5g home internet markets recently. So now today, they announced that Detroit is now been added to the list out of the blue Detroit metro residents will now have another high-speed option for internet access. Man I wish they bring its Phoenix Verizon announced Wednesday that the city now has access to its 5g home Internet service, which allows users to access speeds up to 1 gigabit per second for $50 per month for Verizon Wireless customers in $70 for everyone else, Detroit is only the sixth city to get availability, since the service launched in October 2018 and Verizon expects to expand to ten more cities and total this year, hoping I'm hoping Phoenix is one of them I'm, not really sure.

But this is good news. You know this could be a game-changer for Verizon and obviously now that T-Mobile has all that extra spectrum. It could be a game changer for T-Mobile, so I'll keep an eye on this I'll. Let you know what other cities I'll be researching, doing some more research on this to see what other cities they're planning on launching but perfect stuff from Verizon. Hopefully they keep expanding it at a good pace and I think that T-Mobile and just to add something to this, you could probably have the edge on this in the medium term and what I mean by medium term is two three years, not, not six, seven years right, because if they deploy all their mid-band from Sprint and then at a millimeter where they can they, they can have some serious capacity to do this on a larger scale and reach more homes.

So, let's see if a T-Mobile takes advantage of that extra spectrum position to compete with Verizon in this space and man, man, man, I, would love to see. Comcast and Cox have a run for their money. I really would. But anyway, let's move on to the next one. All right, slash, gear.

com AT&T takes on mint mobile with new multi month prepaid plans. So let's just get to the details and make it simple so for, if you prepay now with AT&T on their prepaid, you can pay less so say. For example, here $99 it works out to be 33 per month and so basically you'll get a discount for prepaying in advance. So if you decide to pay for three months, you'll pay $33 per month. If you decide to pay for 12 months, it'll cost $300, which works out to about $25 per month, as the article says.

So this is perfect stuff. It allows you to pay forget about it for a few months and pay a lower rate so check that out. Its AT&T prepaid, 18 C, prepaid customers. So that's what it is just check it out, perfect stuff: okay, stuff! You know more often on stuff like this and put it out kind of a know, kind of PSA, because many people want to test up networks, and they don't want to get postpaid, there's nothing wrong with testing with prepaid. As long as you do understand that you are prioritized, so you might not get the fool.

So if someone that has an elite plan, and it's not over their 100 gigabyte threshold will have priority on their network on the network on the same tower. Over you, so if you sit there and run a speed test on both phones, a prepaid one and a postpaid one, you will see the pulse plate one if you've run them at the exact same time. Take the bandwidth, and then you'll see the prepaid won't slow down. So that's something to keep in mind when you do prepay, but obviously for those prices, I mean that might be worth it to some of you, but especially if you're checking coverage. So keep that in mind.

But anyway, we'll move on to the next one. Here, I'll put a link to the article, so you can read it yourself, T-Mobile's honeymoon with dishes over man. This is getting ugly as the boost idea. Not the idea deal is held hostage by 5g network leases, alright, so there's two phone arena comm by the way, there are two articles on there there are two ways that this is getting hurt. Let's just say it put it that way, because I see everybody reporting it one way, and they're not giving you the full picture, and let's go to the next one, and this is the headline from Bloomberg comm they're, just seeking better terms on Castillo with T-Mobile, okay, so they're they're not the same issue.

Okay, but unfortunately, dish is connecting them together. So let's go ahead and with the first article, and I'll read you part of that. So what's at what's happening here is organ which has been known to be a tough negotiator. It's trying to tell T-Mobile, so I'll, read part of the article hear their opinion as that T-Mobile should strive for releasing all dishes: 600 megahertz assets for no more than three 350 million a year, and that the lease contracts should be for at least three years. The issues apparently bidding its time and wants to get more favorable lease agreement before it closes the boost acquisition and brings the whole process to a close, so that T-Mobile can focus its in 5g Network.

So this is basically telling T-Mobile. We want better. We want you to lease our D. Our 600 megahertz spectrum, and we're tying this to the overall deal. These were two separate issues before now to the Bloomberg article, when dish network or chairman Charlie Bergen forged the deal last year to acquire blues from Supreme Court that takeover target of T-Mobile us Inc.

The hope was that it would lead to a new nationwide wireless carrier, but again famous for his hard-nosed negotiations has more demands before the transaction gets done. Okay, with the July 1st deadline approaching T-Mobile and ? have yet to come to terms of the under purchase of boost. So to make this the story, the story, shorter corner virus has hit the boost. The value of boost, so Oregon is saying: hey wait, a minute. I know we agreed already, which is your know, kind of meanie thing to do.

If you put it that way, we'll be nice, and they're. Saying hey look coronavirus. Has the value of this I want more favorable terms, I, want you to lower the price of boost and gave me more favorable terms, and it might even force T-Mobile to look elsewhere right. So now you couple that and then with what they're trying to do here, tie it into the lease agreements worth is 600 megahertz spectrum. So now you have Oregon using two sides of this to try to get better terms on both ends, which is smart, but it does fall back on the original agreement.

So that's! So that's what we're at right now I just wanted to give you guys some clarity on this I've watched, the know, I've read, I've, read multiple articles and not all of them mentioned both sides of this. So I just wanted to kind of put that out there that this is a multi-faceted situation here. This Argon is playing the dish least 600 megahertz issue and using it to get better terms on the boost issue on top of the value of Boost Mobile. So keep that in mind. I'll have more updates for you.

I'll try to keep researching this and bring you more information, and hopefully, clarity on this instead of just reading it out to you, but anyway, alright, so the next one is going to be from the rap comm. So this is kind of politics guys. So if you don't like your tech, people talking about politics, I totally get it. There's nothing wrong of you and the video now. But you know for me personally, I agree with what happened here so there's the T-Mobile pull advertising from Tucker, Carlson's, Fox News, show, and what this is what T-Mobile said.

We will continue to support those who stand against racial injustice, so for anybody that follows the news outside of tech. This man here Tucker Carlson, made some pretty inflammatory remarks and Disney and T-Mobile have decided to pull out. So obviously, if you are a host, if you run any kind of you know news, you maybe should keep your opinions of controversial issues out of the public limelight, because right now, companies, including T-Mobile, who has always been known to be socially aware, even under John, ledger and, of course, Disney- who has always been extremely sensitive to that stuff. They're going to go ahead and pull their advertising money and to me this is a good thing if you know, there's a lot of change going on in the United States right now and so T-Mobile is putting their money where their mouth is and saying. You're going to say these kinds of things: we're not going to support you any longer but anyway, so those are the articles for today.

So let's go over them real quick! You know we have the 39 gigahertz ready for 18 t2 deployed thanks to the FCC. We have 70 to 90, gigahertz, potentially being used for back haul for 5g deployments. We talked about Sprint and me. Don't remember exactly why. Let me back up that's what happens when you get old alright.

So this was the CB RS bidders and then because of that, we went in I kind of explained to you how a mobile might bid, and the idea was that they would potentially fill some of those gaps that they have in their spectrum. Let me go back to that oops. Where is it now? Okay, oh here, it is all right. So some of these yellow areas here that have low spectrum in some there are some spots. If you look at the high-resolution map that happened, you know.

So, let's see which ones are the zero here, it's kind of hard to tell, but there are some spots that have zero and then of course, a lot of spots that have very little or some spots that have very little as you can see, from the yellow there, but obviously they're gonna look to fill in that spectrum, so that was part of that, and then we talked about Verizon and the s20 plus not having millimeter I mean not having an SD slot and less RAM. That's bad, but some of you might not care personally, I. Wouldn't it to me that device is probably gonna, be look. I haven't used it. So, let's throw that out there.

But you know: devices with a gigabyte of RAM tend to roam, run okay. So, unless you're running, like a ton of apps with such a small screen, you're, probably not gonna, be doing that and if you're, not a gamer, you're, probably not gonna care, but it's good to know so, let's go and the next one is. Obviously we did have that home launch from Verizon a home Internet, and it's now available in Detroit and then the next one is going to be AT&T in mint mobile 18 teens trying to compete. So they did do those new plans where you prepay for several months, and you get a cheaper rate, good stuff and then the honeymoon with dishes over, and you saw those two articles, Charlie Bergen playing hardball and then there's me and T-Mobile, taking their dollars elsewhere because of stuff set by this man here but anyway, this is tech. Extremists, I, really appreciate y'all watch go ahead and hit the like button subscribe comment.

Let me know if you have any questions, or you disagree with any other stuff in whatever way or if you need any more info. I'll try to I'll try to get back to you guys in the comment section like I. Always try to do I try to engage as much as I can, but I really appreciate. You all watching you all have a good one.
