Subject: What's New In 5G - December 2022
By Angela Y. Kung and Christen B'Anca Glenn
The next-generation of wireless technologies – known as 5G – is
expected to revolutionize business and consumer connectivity, offering
network speeds that are up to 100 times faster than 4G LTE, reducing
latency to nearly zero, and allowing networks to handle 100 times the
number of connected devices, enabling the “Internet of Things.”
Leading policymakers – federal regulators and legislators – are making
it a top priority to ensure that the wireless industry has the tools
it needs to maintain U.S. leadership in commercial 5G
deployments. This blog provides monthly updates on FCC actions and
Congressional efforts to win the race to 5G.

I'm sometimes accused of being overly critical of the claims made
by vendors of various “new” and “improved” technologies. However,
this was from a law firm, and I'm surprised that those who work
in such a place would pass along such claims.
“Reducing latency to nearly zero” - and how is that miracle
accomplished? Is there a new law which modifies the old
laws of physics? | | - Bill Horne |

Subject: FTC And States Settle With Google And IHeartMedia Over
Misleading Endorsements
by Gonzalo E. Mon and Paul Singer
In January, we reported that the Texas Attorney General had filed a
lawsuit against Google alleging that the company engaged iHeartMedia
DJs to provide endorsements for its Pixel 4 phone, even though they
had never used it. This week, the FTC and several state attorneys
general announced settlements with Google and iHeartMedia over the
same conduct. The complaints provide more insights into what may have
happened behind the scenes.
According to the FTC and states, Google hired iHeartMedia and other
radio networks in 2019 to have DJs read ads for the Pixel 4
phone. Google provided scripts that included endorsements written in
the first-person. For example: “It's my favorite phone camera out
there, especially in low light, thanks to Night Sight Mode;” “I've
been taking studio-like photos of everything;” and “It's also great at
helping me get stuff done, thanks to the new voice activated Google
Assistant that can handle multiple tasks at once.”

Subject: FCC Requires Consumer Broadband Labeling
by Laura A. Stefani and Craig A. Gilley
On November 17, 2022, the FCC issued new broadband labeling rules that
require Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to publish broadband
“nutrition labels” in a standardized format informing customers of the
pricing, performance, fees, data allowances and other details of each
of their currently available broadband offerings offered to mass
market residential and small business customers. The rules, which
apply to both fixed and mobile broadband services, must be disclosed
to customers at the point of sale.
