TAITC tries to navigate the complex world of 5G, Huawei, and the telecom revolution with special guest John Pelson, author of the thought-provoking book, Wireless Wars. With Pelson's unique insights from his time as a corporate executive in the wireless tech industry, we explore the pivotal role of rapid, reliable communication in promoting cooperation and exchange. We'll take up some of the intricacies of switching technology, capacity increases, and how institutions and transaction costs influence the wireless business competition.

Our journey won't stop at revealing the inner workings of the telecom industry. We'll also shed light on the transformative impact of 5G technology on society. Beyond simply being a faster version of 4G, we'll discuss how 5G acts as a conduit connecting things to things, with the potential to bring radical changes to multiple industries. Discover why it's not too late to jump on the 5G bandwagon and how its full potential is yet to be realized.
