hasn't the US been using bogus 5G stats to prop up its numbers?

I remember reading that AT&T was misclassifying its network for 5G when it wasn't "true" 5G
It is all bullshit.

We just have to look at this story.

And even older stories. They show that the action in 5G is somewhere else, because someone is really that far behind.

Does the US sees Nokia and Erickson as US companies? I know Qualcomm has a big telecom IP portfolio. For the rest I'm pretty sure they don't create 5g infrastructure devices like huawei.

That's what I thought. AFAIK, AT&T doesn't manufacture 5G telecommunication equipment. Even Qualcomm is mainly in chip manufacturing and not in telecommunication equipment manufacturing and its application.

Ehhhh, the term "hack proof" has been used before. Making the data volatile if accessed inappropriately isn't a new idea.
The point is not it being "hack proof" which is a bonus. The fact is the Chinese is maturing in implementing this new technology by holding light for nearly one hour, ahead of Germany which formally held the record of holding light for one minute.

Qualcomm is mainly in designing SoC for smartphones.

The US is far behind Europe - Sweden and to some extent Finland, when it coems to 5G. They do control a lot of the software and chip side of it though. Europe is behind China on 5G. The US doesn't manufacture its own 5G equipemnt outside of niche chips (which China can mostly do for itself in this domain) but then again the US doesn't really have to. The only true difference is the time between rollout and applications. China's been at it for two years and FAR more applications have been around for at least a year. Europe's starting to do rollout and applications while Australian and US 5G are a joke compared to Chinese, Korean, and European equivalents. The services offered are still relatively restricted.
 
US game plan is always about perception. They intend to win by giving the perception that they are ahead and capture the market. Then nothing else really matters when the money is in the bank until the next round of competition.

The problem with US Hi Tech in the hardware space is that its far more lucrative to make over priced stuff for Uncle Sam protected by "National Security" restrictions and milk those profits than to compete commercially against real competitors!

Take Motorola as an example, a proud heritage in telecommunications and early innovator ends up splitting the company selling off the handset and patent portfolio leaving the shareholders with a rump company selling to quote "communications products and services to public safety and government agencies (law enforcement, fire, emergency medical services, and national government security) and private entities including utilities, mining, energy, manufacturing, hospitality, retail, transportation and logistics"

The more the US budget goes towards the defence department the more companies that need capital to grow with gravitate towards it because unlike software you are risking real actual capital rather than sweat equity to make things happen, why do that in a competitive marketplace when you might actually get beat when you can just sell to a captive market!
