The forthcoming launch of Verizon and AT&T's C-Band spectrum-based 5G service will not only bring 'real' 5G to a broader audience, but it should also finally start to trigger the wider benefits of the 5G economy.

To add insult to injury, the year ended with the debacle of the FAA making scary-sounding, but completely unjustified, claims that the widely anticipated launch of C-band-based 5G networks from AT&T and Verizon would compromise airline safety and lead to near chaos in the skies. The development was absurd on many levels, not the least of which was that any potential concerns had been discussed and seemingly resolved several years ago.
In real-world terms, it’s likely that most consumers will find C- Band-based 5G fast enough . While it’s fun to talk about multi-gigabit download speeds that are possible with mmWave, the truth is that giving people wireless connections that are as fast, or even faster, than high-quality WiFi—but without the hassles of having to constantly log in to new networks—will be appealing to many.
