Hey, everyone.
There's a lot of noise about 5G right now.
There's also a lot of confusion, and frankly, some real BS.
But don't let the spin from the other guys confuse you.
5G will be one of the most transformative technologies
of my lifetime.
And as I mentioned in my blog earlier this year about 5G for all,
the new T-Mobile is about making sure all Americans can benefit from 5G,
not just in a few cities or pockets within cities.
5G is going to unlock things that most of us can't even imagine yet.
It's going to fuel the next generation of American innovators
in economic growth.
Just look at 4G and all the things you couldn't do 10 years ago without it,
like streaming movies on your phone.
4G also brought to life companies, apps, and new industries,
many we couldn't even have imagined, like Uber, Snap, and PayPal's Venmo.
The entire gig economy was born.
Mobile ordering and apps brought new levels of convenience and simplicity
to our lives.
And tech companies, like Google, Facebook, and Amazon,
increased their global reach with mobile first approaches, thanks to 4G.
If 4G could do all that, 5G will unleash a massive new round of innovation way
beyond what we've seen in wireless to date,
spurring incredible economic growth, $275 billion in new investment,
creating three million new jobs, and adding $500 billion to the economy
by 2024.
In fact, it's estimated that one out of every 100 Americans
will benefit from a new 5G job.
Everyone keeps saying that 5G will be big.
And I'm not always sure that people really know what that means
and just how amazing and life changing some of this innovation will be.
So here are just a few examples of how we think 5G from the new T-Mobile
will spur innovation that will change our lives.
Imagine taking a road trip and seeing information about what's around you
and what's up ahead displayed on your windshield, sensors in smart highways
sending real time data to your car, warning
of things like ice or accidents, intelligently routing traffic
and updating road signs so you get where you want to go faster and safer.
And imagine your family seeing information
on the passenger windows about what you're
driving past as you go by, major landmark, historical monument.
Now you know.
And imagine, smart parking lots that know how many spaces are open,
so you can reserve a space long before you get to your destination, never
circle for parking again.
And in a more serious situation, imagine firefighters in a smoke-filled home
with little to no visibility.
With 5G augmented reality displays on their helmets,
they could see where their colleagues are.
They can see the floor plan and the layout of the home,
including where the exits are.
And they can see pictures and descriptions of the people
they are working to rescue, whether they've been found,
and when it's time to get out.
Imagine if people were injured in a car accident,
and EMTs could consult with trauma experts at the hospital in real time
and send data on vital signs during the ambulance ride.
Or how about in education?
Imagine children in underserved areas learning in virtual classrooms
or studying side-by-side with remote mentors and tutors.
Imagine remotely participating in immersive hands-on learning.
What about learning another language?
Or learning English by hearing everything
translated in real time right into your ear?
How about some fun stuff?
Imagine taking a ski lesson and your instructor gives you a specific path
to take down the slope.
You see the path in your 5G ski goggles and the sensors in your clothes
measure your movements and show you how to improve in real time.
New T-Mobile can and will help the world's most innovative companies
deliver on this vision.
And we will be able to do it quickly, much faster than the pace
that AT&T and Verizon are working at now.
Only the new T-Mobile will have the clear spectrum assets and capital
to build a real nationwide 5G network that delivers and forces
the acceleration of true 5G from AT&T and Verizon.
Look, I'm talking about real 5G, not 5G with an asterisk,
not something with an E slapped on the logo, not something that
works in a matter of a few square feet with a signal
that you lose if you shift to the left or the right,
not made up versions or pockets of the country that have nothing
to do with rural America.
The new T-Mobile will deliver a network that
reaches people all over this country.
We will deliver 5G for all, not just the few, the elite, or those
that can spend more.
Because unlike Verizon and AT&T, when the new T-Mobile opens its doors,
we won't charge a dollar more for 5G.
It's a commitment I've made and it's a promise we will keep.
5G from the new T-Mobile is about fueling innovation
across every industry.
It's about unleashing new economic growth.
And new T-Mobile will be jobs positive on day one.
It's about making this country the first and best in the global race to 5G.
China and other countries are already investing billions in 5G.
But don't take my word for it.
Recent reports show that China will invest more than $400 billion in 5G.
These guys are not kidding around.
They want to be first.
They want the innovation.
They want the economic stimulus.
I want America to have that innovation, that leadership,
and the jobs that come from a game-changing technology like 5G.
5G and the new T-Mobile will create thousands
of jobs, billions of dollars in value for the American economy,
and give people more choices and more opportunity.
And all of this comes with the uncarrier approach and commitment
to disrupt more broken industries and force change,
just like we've been doing for the past six years.
So while others crow about their 5G for the few,
we're laser focused on our path to 5G for all.
And with 5G for all comes competition and choice for Americans, for everyone,
everywhere.
5G for all.
It's more than a hashtag, it's a vision and a plan.
It's our mission to create a better future for everyone.
