When the dust settled , all the mobile operators involved declared victory , with AT & T claiming to have already won the race back in December of 2018 with the launch of several 5G mobile hotspot devices in 12 American cities . SK Telecom , Verizon and KT all responded by saying that mobile hotspots don ’ t count and that connecting an actual phone is the criteria for a commercial 5G mobile network . AT & T disagreed - obviously .
Two years later , and the frenzied spirit of competition that surrounded those early days of 5G has only grown more
“ Countries like South Korea and China … are already seeing greater consumer demand for innovative services , such as AR and 360- degree video ”
