Giving the Bird


I confess. I am a 5G skeptic ... see: Mind Boggling. Yes, 5G technology may be required for eeffective and safe driverless cars ... and for live streaming of high-resolution video. But it appears it will come with a cost ... possibly too high a cost. A recent 5G test in the Netherlands has resulted in alarming number of dead birds ... see: Captain Planet Story. It seems that we have not been killing enough birds with our  giant windmills. Now we have to fry them with high-energy RF waves eminating from 5G transmitters that will have to be located everywhere.

It is estimated that, for the US to go completely 5G, there would need to be millions of transmitters. Extrapolating from the tests of this technology at The Hague, this could mean the quick deaths of hundreds of millions of birds. And who knows how this mass kill-off would evolve over time ... or whether other species would be affected ... like man?

Where are you, Rachael Carson, now that we need you?

Mind Boggling


I understand that 5G communications is a line of sight (LOS) technology. Can you imagine how many 5G transmitters/receivers will be necessary to cover fully the United States (or the world) with 5G? And how often they will need modifications to correct for LOS dead spots ... say when new small branches grow on trees or new structures are built? 

Or what happens when a driverless car hits a LOS dead spot (say from passing trucks) at a critical moment?

It boggles my mind ...

Afterthought: These technological challenges suggest to this blogger that 5G might be either a huge market opportunity ... or a (China-driven) gigantic wet fart.

Lily Gilding


IMHO, 5G communication is a technology that is currently not justified on a cost-benefit basis. Its potential user base is primarily those elites who will also most benefit economically from its implementation. Just because it can be done doesn’t mean it must be done. Someday it may be more easily rationalized, but it now seems like a multi-trillion-dollar lily gilding.

Afterthought: Is 5G necessary to allow driverless cars really to work?
