, which was necessary if Apple is going to succeed in offering competitive 5G-capable mobile devices by 2020.

Although these developments show the path for the 5G future in the U.S.—a private sector system primarily using domestic and legacy European technology—they do not erase some serious problems with the rapid construction of the new wireless networks, nor do they suggest an economically compelling alternative in the rest of the world to the increasingly sophistical and state-supported competitor, Huawei.
The likely path of installing 5G in the U.S., given the high cost of building entirely new infrastructure, is to retrofit existing 4G systems, locking the major wireless operators into existing hardware providers . These providers are not as advanced as Huawei which is able to offer entirely new, integrated systems at reasonable prices. This dynamic too will slow the deployment of the most advanced new 5G technologies and features in the U.S.
