Deep Dive: 5G, one of the most used and least understood buzzwords, is the next generation of mobile networks. It will mean faster phone data, but will also pave the way for billions of connected devices: autonomous vehicles, smart homes & smart cities. axios.com/newsletters/ax…
When will 5G actually arrive? While all of the Big 4 carriers plan to offer 5G mobile cell service in the first half of next year — and each is making the case they will be first — each is taking a different path. axios.com/carriers-deplo…
Key vocabulary, explained: 5G, small cells, latency, spectrum, millimeter wave axios.com/5g-technology-…
The advent of 5G has turned into a serious geopolitical fight — actually, two.
Fight #1: The race to get 5G networks up and running.
Fight #2: The competition over whose technology will power the networks. axios.com/5g-global-race…
If you think today's cybersecurity landscape is treacherous, just wait. There are dimensions to security in the 5G age that no one, including the experts, has quite figured out yet. axios.com/5g-networks-se…
Experts say 5G networks will jump-start the smart cities movement aimed at making communities more sustainable and efficient. axios.com/smart-cities-5…
It took 30 years to erect 150,000 cell towers for 4G. Transmitters are smaller for 5G, but the networks will need five times that many in the next few years to achieve the speeds providers are promising. axios.com/cities-and-fcc…
Despite efforts to deploy 5G in big cities, there's little financial incentive for the major telecom firms to spend the billions of dollars necessary to serve rural communities. axios.com/5g-digital-div…
Tech companies, like Google and Microsoft, see the transition to 5G as an opportunity to gain new footholds in the connectivity business that's dominated by major wireless providers. axios.com/the-fight-for-…
The first to invest in and take advantage of 5G will be heavy industries, not consumer brands. axios.com/5g-networks-fi…

Ten years ago today, Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, sending America into its most dire financial crisis since the Great Depression. Our deep dive on how it shaped the country over the next decade: axios.com/newsletters/ax…
Could another financial crisis of the same magnitude come at any moment? The answer, reassuringly, is no. The economy has immunized itself to a similar shock.
axios.com/financial-cris…
The financial crisis was shocking because so few people saw it coming, as much of the risk was hidden within complex financial instruments. Here are three top risk factors we face today: axios.com/post-financial…

There’s a lot going on under the surface of @Huawei’s CFO (and daughter of founder of Chinese telecom giant) being arrested in Canada. Here’s a primer and what it all means:
<<deep breath>> Cue — twitter rant:
What you need to know is this a global gnarled between the West and China over who builds the digital highway of the future, and which govts *may* be able to leverage them for their own advantage
In the past, the likes of Ericsson, Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, etc have pretty much run the board of providing the equipment to build global telco networks. That made sense, cos they were only game in town

In the information age, the nation that leads the world in wireless technology wins. To keep America’s edge, we must accelerate our development and deployment of 5G—
the next-generation wireless network that can move massive amounts of data at exponentially faster speeds than existing 4G LTE networks.

Right then.

And so, finally, I get to turn my attention to the shambles that is the #FairPlay4Women guidance.

Hooray!!!

I'll be breaking up the posting times of this, so the whole thing will likely take a couple of hours to come through.

Stay awhile, and listen

But before we dive into the nitty gritty of what’s wrong with it (everything), let’s step back a bit and look at the big picture here. This is a consultation that is set up to look at the issue of making it easier for trans and intersex people to get a GRC to correct...

, or adjust, the initial info recorded on their birth certificate when it was first issued. That would be ALL trans and intersex people(and before you chime in with your usual bullshit, do you know what it is that actual intersex organisations say about trans people...

UCC had opportunity to comment on the #Data.Protection & Privacy Bill. The enactment of this law is long overdue. A comprehensive law on the collection & processing personal information gives effect to the right to Privacy envisaged under Article 27(2) of the Constitution
UCC welcome the protections offered by the Bill in terms of export of data, breach notification requirements, data subjects access rights, automated decision making, compensation and the right to be forgotten and provision for financial and penal sanctions for breach of the law.
Distinction between Data collectors & data controllers.
The Bill should however clarify & distinguish Data Collectors, from Data Processors & Data Controllers. Clause 2 is inconsistent with international good practice which provides for two broad categories of Data Controllers
