Trump national security officials are considering an unprecedented federal takeover of a portion of the nations mobile network to guard against China, according to sensitive documents obtained by Axios.
Why it matters: Weve got our hands on a PowerPoint deck and a memo both produced by a senior National Security Council official which were presented recently to senior officials at other agencies in the Trump administration.
The main points: The documents say America needs a centralized nationwide 5G network within three years. There'll be a fierce debate inside the Trump administration and an outcry from the industry over the next 6-8 months over how such a network is built and paid for.
Two options laid out by the documents:
The U.S. government pays for and builds the single network which would be an unprecedented nationalization of a historically private infrastructure.
An alternative plan where wireless providers build their own 5G networks that compete with one another though the document says the downside is it could take longer and cost more. It argues that one of the pros of that plan is that it would cause less commercial disruption to the wireless industry than the government building a network.
Between the lines: A source familiar with the documents' drafting says Option 2 is really no option at all: a single centralized network is what's required to protect America against China and other bad actors.

False
Thanks.
I was about to call you out as technological Troll’splainer....
Wow you are really angry and going into a completly different direction than what we were originally talking about.
This is FAKE NEWS, and the Trump Administration has already said they are not for this. Ditto the FCC chairman.
Just like we were saying the entire time.
Here is the 5g spectrum illustrated for you below.
Haha!
Oh don’t call me that it would be the end of the world!
Haha!
Anyhow, we went way in a different direction with this and should be focused on what the article was talking about vs. getting into 5g spectrum. Haha!
Don’t forget clustering all the bombers together on the airfields in Hawaii and the Philippines.
So what you really meant was a 5 GHz bandwidth?
If so, you shoulda said so.
Now that I look at that graphic again, it would seem that 5G means 5th generation.
