5th April is the official launch of 5G for South Korea.
Seo Chang-seok, head of the KT operator network strategy unit stated: “We will be able to have up to 80 percent nationwide coverage with 5G in 2019."
'There are already 15,000 5G base stations deployed in Seoul, South Korea. By the April 5th the number of 5G base stations in whole of the South Korea will reach 30,000.'
Milimeter waves here we come. 4G: 800MHz - 2.6Ghz 5G: 600 MHz - 86GHz
The FCC loves 5G and hates health concerns : youtube.com/watch? v=Bwgwe01SIMc
5G would also better enable the 'internet of things' (IoT), which is where common items like a washing machine can emit microwaves and connect to other gadgets. The low latency of 5G makes the IoT more reliable.
Why would I want my washing machine to connect to something?

"""To give an example: one of the Techware engineers, Wayne, knows when his washing machine cycle has finished, how long it took and other information that is pertinent to him at this time. His washing machine sends him text updates. To some in the office (and likely to you) it sounded a little bit excessive, but Wayne assured us there was reasoning behind it. He knew that having a connected home leveraging the IoT his machine will know when the best time to wash and dry your clothes will be and make the decision. The factors in the decision making process would be things like time of day, power usage, cost of power at that time – his washing machine is saving him money."""
They don't regulate jack shit. They push the envelope of power limits in the interest of companies and not our biology.

“At lower frequencies, between 1–10 GHz, most of the energy is however absorbed in deeper layers; the threshold for cellular injury there lies at 42 °C while the pain threshold is at 45 °C, so a subjective perception may not be a reliable indicator of a harmful level of exposure at those frequencies.[6]“ en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_burn
“The band that is most likely to be universally used for 5G in this range is around 3.5 GHz.” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/5G
The current wifi is cooking us enough to cause harm. The higher density of 5G will completely fuck us

Or you could have a washing machine that is cheaper to build and repair, and requires a smaller and shorter logistics chain, which is energetically more efficient.

So amazon can better predict what you want to buy so it can create better personalized advertisements or subliminal messaging through all your appliances. It's to spy on you.

Don't call it a grave, it's the future they chose

Massively fuck us. The studies showing effects are huge now.
Even at below mobile calling levels.
ICNIRP and FCC have a duty to make the public better aware of possible biological effects. They are being so tight lipped about it.
Clearly these regulators would rather we all be oblivious to biological effects.

Yeah good point!

Oh god yeah, every company and his dog will be analysing your usage with their wireless items and feeding it to their marketing departments. And the Law will cover them.

Possibly, one day, our entire house will be like the Windows 10 OS, everything you do in your house will be fed as 'feedback and quality control' data to multiple company servers.
