5G only has higher node density if you’re using mmWave, which is only happening in ultra dense places today, and mostly indoor/arena use - it isn’t very widely deployed.

5G might get you to within 50ft instead of 100ft, but it’s not getting you to 3ft of accuracy without mmWave, and that’s mostly because mmWave barely travels at all. You can’t be more than a couple hundred feet from the antenna and need unobstructed line of sight to it.

Not really. All of the super high accuracy requires fairly specific circumstances that broadly don’t exist in the real world today.

And if they did, they’d be able to pinpoint your location just as well over 4G.

They can track you to within 100ft easily on 4G today.

They can pinpoint you almost as well on 4G. This is not a good reason to not use 5G.

There are no free passes. Both sides slaughter each others children.

And then one slaughters their gay children themselves.

One does not need to equate these - or diminish the good in what Israel is doing. It’s progress. May there be much more.

Or, you know, beheaded.

It is not a safe space for LGBT+.

Israel has special LGBT work permits and asylum processes for Palestinians who are gay. There are more Palestinians out in Israel than in Palestine.

I think they’re insinuating that Israel isn’t a monolith either.

…yes they do. This is for vendors that use/enter into a business relationship with T-Mobile directly to send short codes or SMS. I.e. companies like Vonage and Twilio.

You can absolutely enforce fees against your direct customers for certain behaviors.

This would not work for messages received from other telcos

In their case, they’re spying on journalists also. That’s not the only spying they’re doing.

It’s mostly a nice way of saying corruption and graft need to be curtailed.

Certainly India. And literally every other sovereign state that spy on literally every other sovereign state.
