Telstra is running ahead of schedule on building out its 5G network, with the telco saying it has extended its coverage to 47 cities across Australia

and launching a mobile broadband device that could potentially compete with the National Broadband Network.to at least 35 cities by June 2020. However, Telstra’s network engineering executive Channa Seneviratne said there had been a significant push internally over the last six months to beat the original rollout target.

Telstra has already invested more than $8 billion into its mobile network and the latest update from the telco comes as it gets ready for the upcoming auction of 5G ‘millimetre wave’ spectrum, which is scheduled for early 2021. “We already have a proportion of our customers who don’t have fixed-line broadband services and have elected to use mobile broadband and people will find new ways of using mmWave services, both in a consumer and enterprise environment,” he said.

“So the factory environment can become completely wireless, and at the same time we will also use mmWave to serve consumers in hot spots like train stations, stadiums and CBDs, the spectrum is perfect for these areas of high demand,” he said.

Can they now publish the scientific trial (one that has been replicated, rather than just peer reviewed by a friend in academia) that proves 5G safe for humans!

There are 47 cities in Australia?

Why the rush?

Federal ministers flooded with unprecedented level of anti-vaccination mailSenior government ministers say they are receiving an unprecedented amount of anti-vaccination correspondence as experts warn of a new wave of vaccination distrust. I was of the understanding that both Facebook and Twitter were going to take down these fakenews stories They did '100 hours of research on vaccination' apparently. Unlike the doctors and public health experts who do that much background research in the first fortnight of their 3-5yr PhD. Get back to us when you've done 10,000 hours of research and can call yourself an expert. Well! If that increases Aus Post profits let them continue spending money on express post. But yeah! I get the strain on resources part too. So ... Off with their heads. You decide.
