Read the post but to roughly summarize; NOK Is very well positioned to benefit from the implementation of 5G and they also have some of those sweet sweet government contracts that make them very likely to profit. It’s easy to look at their presence in consumer cellular and assume this is dumb but they’re a much more diversified company than it might seem. Worth considering.
Place your pretend money bets here chapos. Place your real money bets (if you have them) on any app besides RH!
This is not financial advice, this is gambling.
Market for 5G: telecom infrastructure in America is dogshit and countries that have 5G technology do have far superior network connectivity.
Should exist: fuck no, the surveillance implications are horrifying, who knows if there are other long term consequences too.
Will exist: very likely yes IMO. It’s a great way for the neoliberal state to expand surveillance capabilities under market auspices. But hey I’m definitely not an expert. I am just speculating.
As to why it may do better than Qualcomm or Broadcom, iunno. The stocks a lot cheaper. And after some cursory DD my understanding is that all three of them are well positioned to make a lot of money in 5G. They just do different tech. Qualcom and Broadcom are chip companies and it seems that Nokia’s development is geared towards durable 5G antenna. My understanding of 5G is it requires the installation of a vast number of smaller transmitters. But again I am just speculating about all of this. This is definitely not financial advice! Oh no the SEC! Please don’t take me to jail!

Hey thanks for sharing your experience with me on that comrade. That’s a really interesting insight. I think the biggest thing is the geography. That’s definitely a big barrier for 5G in America. I was just assuming the surveillance capabilities were better because my understanding was that phone tracking is easier to do in a 5G network. But when I really think about it there’s a lot more to surveillance than tracking your location. Do you think 5G as a technology even makes any sense logistically in areas that aren’t densely populated?
