How wrong they were. These days we’re in the fourth generation of cellular broadband technology (4G), and the demand to stream video, use GPS and listen to podcasts on our smartphones grows higher every day. In this episode of What’s Ahead, join Steve as he talks to Mollenkopf about 5G—an expansion of data capabilities that could change how we interact with everything from our cars to our doctors.Also, Steve looks to the week ahead with a focus on the US/China trade dispute, the Canadian elections, the Syria catastrophe, continued talk of a Trump Impeachment, the anticipated Barr report -- and lots of financial numbers that help to understand the state of the American economy. For Steve’s Read of the Week, he recommends three articles.
