I have 2 China Mobile accounts, a basic line for RMB 10/month ($1.42) and an unlimited 4G line for RMB 200 ($28.50).
Next time I return to China I will upgrade my 4G to 5G.
Since there is no US 5G infrastructure equipment supplier, it is impossible for the USA to "beat" China to 5G, that would be China, Sweden and Finland in a race.
By contrast , my shit Verizon service averages $140 per month. about RMB980.
In other words, I could have the most unlimited and deluxe 5G service in China for about half of what I pay for 3G/4G service in CA.

Comcast was not the subject until you injected it. I offer a list of 1,000 things I don’t hear you complaining about but my strawman is hungry and I need to feed on another thread.
You need to learn more about how Google works. If you think “curation” ends at removing “objectionable” content you haven’t been paying close enough attention for the past decade. Google has a virtual monopoly in most of it’s markets and uses its power accordingly, including the promotion of paid advertising it was forced by EU regulators to identify. If I pump water out of the sea with a filter and a flow rate regulation device am I exercising control or merely “curating” the output? Clue about Google search algorithms: not merely a pump and filter, and something Google, um, controls. But nice try! You get one LOL for effort.
Should be interesting to se how this plays out for Clinton
On Fareed Zakaria GPS today, USTR Michael Froman was full of praise for Clinton's contribution framing TPP but, whoa, why did she suddenly make a U-turn and turn against it for political reasons?
I dunno the answer to that. Rats jumping ship?
One thing is for sure, both Froman and Clinton have been well-payed by Citibank for their past efforts on behalf of multinational corporations, and Froman is the gift that keeps giving. And if Congress give Clinton a free pass by ratifying the treaty, well, she will just be doing her job if elected, right?
Re: You have no idea what this "Sovereignty" thing is, right?
One clueless blogger ("I have no idea") quoting an anecdotal "wise man" doesn't define anything but *comment fail*.
In terms of modern Westphalian political states, it means the right and power of a state to govern itself without any interference from outside sources or bodies (such as corporations).
It's perfectly reasonable at this point to trust no OEM and require safety audits of critical systems. What's unreasonable is to put blind trust in any OEM or service provider.
We are heading toward a world where major OEMs will either learn to love open source and audits, or die and an increasing number of companies roll their own commodity hardware.
Intel knows this, but have Cisco and IBM got the message?
It should be noted Huawei has cooperated with pre-installation audits for years in the UK and recently offered to open it's source code to customers.
Did the US Senate and White House do them a favor by banning them and sending them down that road years ahead of their American competitors?
Robert S. Litt, the general counsel for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, said in a prepared statement that Alexander and other officials were speaking only about "raw" intelligence, the term for intercepted content that has not yet been evaluated, stamped with classification markings or minimized to mask U.S. identities. “We have talked about the very strict controls on raw traffic..." Litt said. “Nothing that you have given us indicates that Snowden was able to circumvent that in any way.”
Silly intelligence committee members. They should have specifically asked about access to processed content.
You would think by now NSA would be tired of looking foolish.
Lawyers get paid to do exactly that, and in this one respect, the stream of BS from Dershowitz did not disappoint; I expected no less from him. If he had been allocated 8 hours I'm sure he could have kept babbling nonsense to fill the time.
For the want of another alternative, Snowden depends on Putin at this point and the clock is ticking on his visa.
It's pretty obvious the Obama Administration is not inclined to offer him the opportunity to return to the US under any sort of a deal so he has now to make his way in the world by means available,
Does not have some of the basic constitutional human rights other modern states enjoy and going forward with the pending changes to EU law, potential conflicts exist.
This explains why so many UK representatives voted against the legislation.
It also partly explains Ms Harrison's predicament.
And how small the portions, they may have a point. I mean, it's not exactly like we need smell-a-vision or taste-a-vision to capture the recipes, a simple 2 dimensional graphic rendering of the appearance may suffice.
When my bespoke SoC internet thingy chips lead the 3D revolution to victory over the dark forces of organized manufacturing, testing and standardization. Long live The People's Anarchistia of Crapistian !!!!
