Info on on status of 5G Rollout and Possible Health Effects (fact sheets above).

Much good information on this website:

https://ehtrust.org/science/research-on-wireless-health-effects/

Nutshell: Use common sense. As with many issues, the health effects of 5G are not fully understood (and haven’t really been studied adequately yet). But isn’t it likely, knowing what we now know about our world, that the potential adverse health effects of wireless technologies have been under reported by the major corporations that rely on these devices for their profits?

As with anything, the likelihood and severity of any adverse effects will be related to the intensity and duration of the exposure. Anons would be wise to consider weighing the costs/benefits of minimizing exposure to all sources of technological radiation, such as cell phones, Wifi, communication towers, etc. And maybe think twice about idiotic/unnecessary Internet of Things that use Wifi connections (kid’s toys, your refrigerator, toilet paper dispenser, etc.). What is the cost/benefit of a wired internet connection, or using a landline with a wired handset/headset if you are on the phone a lot?

Here is some updated information about the rollout of 5G in the US:

When will 5G be here?

The answer for smartphone users in the United States appears to be by the second quarter of 2019; precise timing is uncertain.

AT&T has actually switched on its mobile 5G service in 12 cities, with seven more targeted in its initial rollout plan. But smartphones aren’t ready yet for a direct connection to 5G networks. So AT&T will initially market a 5G hot-spot device, made by Netgear, that can funnel wireless broadband connections to nearby phones and computers using Wi-Fi.

Verizon is already selling a 5G-branded service — based on its own variant of the technology — to provide wireless internet connections to homes in limited parts of Houston, Indianapolis, Los Angeles and Sacramento. The carrier predicts that it will begin serving smartphone users in the first half of 2019, without identifying cities or specific timing.

Sprint said it might also switch on a 5G service first for smartphones in 2019, initially targeting nine American cities. Its prospective merger partner, T-Mobile, has stressed a nationwide 5G launch in 2020, but said it was installing gear in 30 cities that would be ready when 5G smartphones appeared in 2019.
