The US President seems to be in a hurry, as he wants 6G rollout very soon in the country. Well, it is quite surprising to see that Donald Trump is talking about 6G. In the recent tweets, the president of the US announced that he’d like to see 6G availability in the country “as soon as possible.” Although, it not clear why Trump is so keen on bringing the 6G in the US. Although, it can be linked to Chinese companies huge involvement in building 5G networks.
In a pair of tweets, US President Donald Trump said that American companies must step up efforts or get left behind. He emphasized on the availability of the 5G and moreover 6G networks as soon as possible. In actual, Donal Trump tweeted, “I want 5G, and even 6G, technology in the United States as soon as possible. It is far more powerful, faster and smarter than the current standard.” In order to speed up implementation of the new technologies, Trump further added that “American companies must step up their efforts, or get left behind. There is no reason that we should be lagging behind on..”

The tweets are addressing the concerns of the US president that Chinese companies are leading in 5G technologies development. Even though he tweeted that the administration won’t block any more advanced technologies in order to favor local players. The saying is conflicting with the works the US administration has done in the past by blocking some Chinese companies from selling 5G equipments.
The comments came after the Korean Giant, Samsung launched a 5G compatible device. The new Samsung Galaxy S10 will give “the power of 5G in consumers’ hands” said the company. The new technology will allow users to download games, full TV shows within a few minutes or seconds. Users will be able to play graphics enriched cloud games without any virtual lag. The new 5G technology will make real-time 4k video calls a reality.
….something that is so obviously the future. I want the United States to win through competition, not by blocking out currently more advanced technologies. We must always be the leader in everything we do, especially when it comes to the very exciting world of technology!
