Ever since Verizon talked about its 5G plans for 2020 at the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the public has been pretty excited to see what’s in store for the consumer market. So when AT&T took the stage yesterday, it also shared some of its 5G plans in store for the year ahead.

Verizon has once again expanded its 5G network. 

Uh-oh. It looks like there are some carriers in the U.S. that have overstated their coverage maps. According to a new report by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), certain carriers have submitted coverage maps to them that were misrepresented. 

Yesterday, it was revealed that Verizon had launched its 5G coverage in three new cities. Now for the first time ever, Big Red has published its coverage map for the 18 cities that have received 5G coverage. 

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has finally made its decision on the pending T-Mobile and Sprint merger. 

According to sources, the government agency has voted to approve the merger between the two carriers. 

Throughout the year, the big four carriers in the country have concentrated their efforts on launching their own 5G networks. Now, it looks like U.S. Cellular is joining in on the party. 

Samsung has just gained new recognition for its Galaxy Note10 and Galaxy Note10+ devices. According to the Wi-Fi Alliance, the smartphone is the first to get certification for Wi-Fi 6, the latest standard in connected technology. 

T-Mobile seems to be doing its best to entice customers to switch over to their network. For starters, the company has launched a free 30-day hotspot Test Drive offer exclusively for non-T-Mobile customers to experience their network. Another way the company is expanding eSIM support to its postpaid users.

Earlier this week, the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ 5G was unveiled. It was introduced as the first smartphone to support sub-6 GHz FDD 5G for both T-Mobile and AT&T. 

AT&T and CBS are currently undergoing a dispute over TV channel broadcasting throughout the country. As the events unfold, each company have released their own side of the story on why the carrier is no longer offering any of the CBS-owned channels in its 17 markets.
