Exactly. The major telcos, like many other super corps, need to be 
'reigned in'. Many experts know this, they haven't a clue, nor the balls 
to speak up.

A myriad of linux technologies and efforts, from the people, can look 
'the beast' in the eyes and say NO.
ENOUGH. OR they can just lay down and prepare to be subsumed. I've made 
my choice; but I'm old and ready to go. So what the hell do I have to loose?


There is so much more, than the published standards on 5G, which are 
still not finalized, than most comprehend.
I doubt 5G will ever have a finalized standard, not even in the USA. 
Sure they may act like it is, but there are too many things afoot, for 
it to become static.

I cannot nor will not exactly finger specifics, as that could land me in 
incarceration, where I'm not even allowed a lawyer.


What I am willing to speak up about, is GENTOO, needs a cellular 
offering, imho. That way, movement from the cell to workstation to the 
lappy-tablet and other devices, becomes the essence of security for the 
individual.

Just marinate of having 3 or more cellphone-stacks on a single phone so 
you can boot (1s) into different distros. Or having 3 sockets with 
different sim cards:

Common man, the carriers are in charge of cellular security. Do you 
think there is any real security on your or my cellphone?

So what happens when ordinary folks, like comm_hackers,
have hundreds of sim cards. Swaping of sim_cards. The list goes on and 
on and on.

The real opportunity here, is that CONSTITUIONALLY,
law-abiding citizens have every right to privacy, which includes 
personal ID security. One day, maybe soon, after 5G takes hold, a 
class-action lawsuit, will find favor at the Supreme court. At the state 
and regional level, not much hope. But the US supreme court has a 
history of siding with citizens in such matters. The Supreme court is 
very likely to become a stong activist,
due to the Trillions of dollars in fraud, and that fraud mostly damages 
folks at the bottom of our society.

Things like hospital and doctor groups, where you owe money of services, 
you can never pay, are about to make the bottom half of US society, 
permanent victims all via that vendor controlled cell phone.

ENOUGH BULLSHIT!  Time to act, ymmv.

Local lawenforcement can easily circumvent 'due process' via modern cell 
phones. Many companies are doing just that, and selling illegal data, to 
anyone with money.

Shall I continue to elaborate? NO. Picture is more than adequately 
framed, imho.

Be Blessed,
James
