Verizon Rolls Out 5G Service Around the U.S.
Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) announced on Tuesday that it has launched its highly anticipated next-generation mobile service throughout the country. A great many of the carrier's customers will theoretically be able to access its 5G Nationwide, as the network covers an area occupied by 200 million people in 1,800 municipalities throughout the country.
But 5G Nationwide runs on a technology that allows the aging 4G LTE standard and 5G services to run simultaneously. Experts say that for Verizon, this provides an initial modest increase in speed, at best, over the wireless data services widely available in recent years.
