    But if they only expose the API, who knows what they are hiding below that? I was thinking, slightly more seriously, the software should all be open so it can be inspected and reviewed. But of course it should be impossible for those outside the manufacturer/operator to do anything to change...

    Open Source 5G - let us all have a go... (Not in any way criticising open source software. Just imagining what people might do if all of it were open for inspection and modification.)

    As regards cost, at present the networks are charging the same for 5G as 4G/3G. Obviously we don't know what the cost of a 5G-only connection on a commercial contract would be but I based my comment on what I can see - which is domestic tariffs. Just because it has the capacity doesn't mean they...

    I am well aware that the value of the pound against the dollar is not the only measure, and it does change. However, it is now, at 1.2875, the lowest it has been this year. You have to go back to November 2019 for it to be lower.

    I struggle to understand what advantages 5G would have over, say, a good local wifi, for electric vehicle production? I think we'd all imagine any vehicle production being located in one, or a few, physical locations. So not much of an issue setting up wifi at each site. And, with large data...

    English might get them a long way. But if a country imposes a language requirement, then it is whatever language they specify that is required. And I was considering the issues like someone living in a German speaking part of Italy. They might be fluent in one but expected to pass a test in...
