AT&T Launches 5G You're Actually Allowed to Use [telecom]

By Ryan Whitwam

If you ask AT&T, it'll tell you it was the first US carrier to launch

5G at the very end of 2018, but that's only true by some very narrow definitions of the word "launch." It wouldn't let most people actually buy or use phones on its 5G network, but that's finally changing. AT&T has fired up a 5G network covering several markets, and it'll even sell you a 5G phone. Just be ready to drop $1,300 on it.

Note the telephone on the asphalt, that's an AE model 80. It has slightly different styling than the Western Electric 500 set.
