Trump made the right call on how to win the 5G race

President Trump has announced that 5G, the next communications revolution, will be “private-sector-driven and private-sector-led,” while the federal bureaucracy will focus on facilitating innovation and reforming regulatory impediments. There remain doubters who think that government should play a lead role in 5G, but Trump’s move should bring joy to the capitalist hearts of risk-takers in Silicon Valley.

5G represents a leap in performance equivalent to going from the era of dial-up modems to high-speed fiber networks that took us from the world of emails to streaming, high-definition video. Deploying 5G will entail enormous capital expenditures, involving a more than 100-fold proliferation in base stations, entirely new classes of wireless semiconductors and artificial intelligence to manage wildly complex networks.

That's a good move. The government can provide regulatory support, but beyond that, keep the hell away from it.

Like Reagan said about those who wanted the government to spearhead a national push to build out the cell phone system: "I don't know much about it, but you don't either".
 
Oh, lovely, another conservative opinion piece that has nothing to do with anything.

Also, if this isn't the most butchered, misrepresented quote I've ever seen, I don't know what is.
