"James" is my moniker, look through the gentoo records.

I disagree. I know a few savant EEs that are building the chip sets. 5G 
is more about what is inside the gallium Arsenide. What you allude to is 
the 'cover story' of what 5G is.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium_arsenide


5G is much more about what's inside the chip sets, as opposed to 
government edicts. That's why the USA woke up and said no to china, 
selling 5G chip sets in the USA. Folks are building processors and 
memory inside the Gallium Arsenide. Surely France and Germany have GA 
chipset capabilities as do China, Russia and others.


So now it seems that  the Co-founder of Mirantis Boris Renski is all 
about open source, 5G:

"Mirantis co-founder to create open-source 5G startup"


https://www.zdnet.com/article/mirantis-co-founder-leaves-to-create-open-source-5g-startup/


More folks are getting the 5G 'shared bandwidth' concept:

https://www.zdnet.com/article/shared-spectrum-whats-next-and-why-it-matters-for-businesses/

So gentoo will have reference codes to include in gentoo-arm buildouts?


"But, now that the FCC has opened up the 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadband 
Radio Service (CBRS) band, there's room for new open-source based 
companies to offer 4G LTE and eventually 5G voice and data. Renski will 
be one of its pioneers."


All I'm trying to say, is this.  GENTOO has numerous trees/stacks 
running on arm, as arm is the basis processor for most cell phones, 
currently.  (embedded gentoo). I'm excited about gentoo pushing a cell 
phone stack out, even it's clandestinely called another distro, 
leveraging the Gentoo codes, ebuilds and low level stacks.... OUR 
community is awesome!


I'm just not convinced that our USA government continuing to "sell 
bandwidth rights", is constitutional?


So Bandwidth utilization efficiencies would skyrocket, already 
mathematically proven and via numerous studies and tests, if the 
bandwidth was 'open' to all legal and non-nefarious communications 
companies and their visionary activities. 5G is the tech battleground, 
of this decade, imho. 5G can ignite  a commercial resonance here in the 
USA, and elsewhere, if allowed to be opened up to startups. Selling 
bandwidth to companies like Verizon, is a very, very bad idea. WE can 
reverse this selling of RF frequency domain space, very very easily.
Technically, it's a done deal. Financially and legally,
it's going to take a constitutional amendment, to get it to 'stick'.


A myriad of small companies, could easily figure out how to offer 
cost-effective communications, if allowed to compete. High prices of 
limited RF spectrum is a massive cost-barrier-to-entry. Very-Large Mega 
corps, just stick their hand out to the government, requiring ever 
increasing sums of money, just to pretend to be offering real 
communications solutions. The government needs to start fining large 
corporations for security breaches, and limiting their rights to 
build/sell more services, until they are proven to be secure. Why do you 
think that MS windows continues to suck at security?  Much more money, 
as they see the lack of security, as a cash-cow.


I'd just like to see (maybe several) gentoo centric stacks, that support 
5G and the myriad of yet-to-be-disclosed hardware features. I'll bet 
that would bring in many new astute coders into the gentoo fold. ymmv.

James
