AT&T announced that as of Friday December 13, 2019, it has become the first wireless carrier to launch its 5G network in both Bay Area cities.

5G stands for fifth-generation cellular wireless and brings greater speed (to move more data), lower latency (to be more responsive), and the ability to connect a lot more devices at once (for sensors and smart devices) at a rate of up to ten times faster than 4G LTE.

As the new technology gets rolled some have a concern that some communities could be left behind.

To ensure a smooth transition San Jose plans to charge for permits on utility poles that mobile companies need to use as they race to build out their 5G networks.

Then the city takes this revenue and reorganizes staff to permit these companies faster. The rest of the money goes towards the city’s Digital Inclusion Fund, which was launched in February 2019 and aims to connect 50,000 households to the web and equip residents with digital literacy skills over the next ten years.
