The G2 on 5G Podcast – Episode 111 – August 5th, 2022

In this episode of The G2 on 5G, Anshel and Will Cover:

1. Dish launches Boost Infinite as second postpaid 5G service - how will it complement its Project Genesis offering and is it a way to leverage the prepaid business sinking ship?

2. Will Dish walk away from T-Mobile’s 800MHz spectrum? What could this mean for Dish and T-Mobile customers?

3. Semtech announces its intention to acquire Sierra Wireless - can the tie up compete with 5G based IoT network deployments?

4. The 2.5 GHz auction is slowing down, T-Mobile looks like the likely bidder for the vast majority of licenses (5,858 single bidder, 1,997 had multiple bidders in round 9), two more bidding rounds are expected today

5. Could Reliance Jio launch its 5G service just days after Indian spectrum auctions?

6. Helium claims it has a new 5G network, using 4G CBRS, and PC Mag’s Sascha Segan also finds that coverage isn’t as good as they claim
