FCC votes to auction C-band satellite spectrum for 5G use

[ad_1] A divided @FCC chose to give away $15B to foreign satellite companies when American taxpayers want that money for rural broadband.

Vivo’s new concept phone comes with a ‘gimbal camera’

[ad_1] The 48-megapixel “gimbal camera” below the zoom camera is rather fascinating.

Sony’s first 5G phone may be a souped-up Xperia 1

Plus, even though Qualcomm and Apple have squashed their beef over royalties, the […]
