尽管各大媒体渲染得剑拔弩张,但是美国有些地方在刚刚推广5G的时候可就太欢乐了,还出现过“段子一般的真事儿”!
据资讯媒体The Verge爆料,去年底开始,美国供应商AT&T的用户在进入2019年后,可以在手机顶端看到5G的标识。注意了,仅仅是标识,而不是真正的5G手机和5G网络。AT&T假装4G LTE是真正的5G!
AT&T customers can see a 5G logo appear in the corner of their smartphone — not because they’re using a 5G phone connected to a 5G network, but because AT&T pretends its most advanced 4G LTE tech is 5G.
另据科技媒体FierceWireless当时的报道,AT&T在新手机上会呈现出5G E的字样,这些手机连接的还都是LTE,尽管速度很快,但本质还是4G技术。这个大写E的字号却比5G要小一些,代表“5G Evolution(进化)”。
According to FierceWireless, AT&T displays an icon reading “5G E” on newer phones that are connected to LTE in markets where the carrier has deployed a handful of speed boosting — but still definitively 4G — technologies. The “E,” displayed smaller than the rest of the logo, refers to “5G Evolution”.
更“杯具”的是,当年AT&T向LTE网络转换的时候,也用的这套把戏。他们推出了加速版本的3G技术,称为HSPA+,然后跟他们合作的所有手机机型,包括苹果在内,都在屏幕上显示了4G字样!
If this sounds sadly familiar, it’s because AT&T pulled this exact same stunt during the transition to LTE. The company rolled out a speed-boosting 3G tech called HSPA+, then got all of its phone partners — even Apple! — to show a “4G” logo when on that kind of connection.
眼看各大媒体纷纷上阵,彭博社则迅速总结一番,5G将如何改变中国:
文章写道:在全世界人口最多的国家推出5G服务,还能对中国的数字经济起到促进作用,包括电信设备制造商、互联网相关的平台和应用、自动驾驶、监控和工厂自动化等等。尽管一开始,这样的领先地位成本较高,但是在未来可能得到很好的回报。
Rolling 5G service out to the world’s biggest population also should give a boost to China’s digital economy, including makers of telecommunications equipment, platforms and applications for the internet of things, autonomous driving, surveillance and factory automation. It’s the kind of head start that will be expensive at first but could pay off well into the future.
彭博社还指出:中国准备通过庞大的用户群,成为世界上最大的5G市场,而这个地位将设立诸如互联网等领域的全球标准,同时使中国成为包括机器人、自动驾驶、工厂自动化等技术的领先国家。
China is poised to become the world’s largest 5G market by users, a position that could help it set global standards for such networks and boost its drive to become a leader in technologies from robotics to autonomous driving and factory automation.
外媒分析的头头是道,那外国网友的反应如何呢?
比如这位就反讽了:美国农民终于用上宽带了!
“5G将改变数字生产力,做好准备吧!”
“随你们怎么想咯,中国很了不起啊。他们也有真5G,而不像AT&T用4G冒充5Ge。”
“基础套餐18美元一个月,含30GB流量500分钟通话,挺便宜啊~”
所以,你打算什么时候也5G一把呢?
