AT&T: our first 5G devices won't be phones, but 'pucks'


AT&T was way early with its 5G network trials back in 2016, and is planning to launch a commercial 5G service this year in 12 markets across the US. Don't expect to lift up your fall season iPhone or Galaxy, and make a call over the 5G ether, or download a movie in seconds, though.

After Verizon announced it can now tack $17 billion in extra profit to its quarterly results, thanks to the new tax law, AT&T came out swinging, and booked $20 billion in Q4.
