"If I now occupy beachfront real estate in our competitors' heads, that makes me smile," AT&T Communications CEO John Donovan said during an appearance on stage at CES today. Donovan was responding to criticism from Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint over AT&T's decision to update some of its phones to display an icon that reads "5G E" instead of "LTE" when connected to faster pockets of its 4G LTE network. The icon refers to "5G Evolution," which is how AT&T is branding those portions of its 4G network - despite there being no actual 5G technology involved. The icon isn't appearing on 5G phones, either. AT&T just took existing LTE phones and essentially slapped a fake 5G label on them. https://www.theverge.com/2019/1/9/18175566/att-communications-ceo-fake-5g-e-complaints-response-ces-2019 -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Mon, 22 Apr 2019
