Look at this 5G unlocked phone from Samsung (we'll need a gentoo test & |
| 28 |
development deep discount). That's what I've been pitching to Samsung.... |

" While the unlocked S20+ and S20 Ultra will work on every US 5G |
| 34 |
carrier, the small S20 won't. " |

A very informative read. 5G 'is not limited to 5GHz bands, 5G will be |
| 38 |
in most 2020 model cars/trucks here in |
| 39 |

| 40 |
us, they're just not publishing it, so the carriers + auto-manufactures, |
| 41 |
can work out the bugs. 5Ghz with IoT micro devices is here already. Lots |
| 42 |
of 5G transponders already deploy, via the companies that run/own the |
| 43 |
cell towers. The eyes && ears are among us now, already. |

So get your unlocked 5G phone, complete with a built in network |
| 47 |
analyzer, today! Spectrum analyzers built in tba in 2021. Be up on |
| 48 |
this, or be a victim, as the nefarious communities are deeply invest in |
| 49 |
this race including law-enforcement, drug-dealers, and foreign |
| 50 |
surveillance devices. |

I'm still hoping a '5G dev-kit' will be publically released to the horde |
| 53 |
of honest (gentoo) linux hackers. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Look at those frequencies above 5G! There is so much more to come and |
| 56 |
yet to be disclosed. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
GENTOO needs to be the development platform solution for this fast |
| 60 |
moving technology! |
