On Monday, January 29, 2018, USA TODAY, published an article titled “Trump administration's idea for government-built 5G network met with loud resistance from U.S. telecoms.” a leaked memo from the telecom industry revealed that the United States administration was actually considering creating its own 5G network that will speed up internet connections for all internet users. Although this report was said to be an old one, the senior administrator official confirmed that the report was not a secret and that it is a goal. However, this goal can cause issues with Chinese tech companies that can potentially monitor Americans. This article is worth your attention because after reading the opinions of those who support this plan and the opinions of those who oppose it, it is very interesting to determine whether or not you are on board with this pricey yet convenient goal. In my opinion, I side with the opposing group primarily because expanding our digital network with thorough deliberation should not be a strong focus for our nation at this time.
