Trump national security officials are considering an unprecedented federal takeover of a portion of the nation’s mobile network to guard against China, according to sensitive documents obtained by Axios.
Why it matters: We’ve 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.

Don’t forget the source. Axios is the child of some ex-Politoco guys, along with NBC and others.
This was probably just one of those “what if” discussions.
Horrible idea...
Let the market and the companies wanting to do it determine this.
What a dumb idea!
This is a Globalist wet dream.
They could spy on every phone and tablet in the United States.
HORRIBLE IDEA
For the record, I have never heard President Trump even mention this 1 time.
Chance are this is FAKE NEWS.
This would be something Hillary Clinton would do.
Ask Q...
“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.”
TOTAL HORSE$HIT ARGUMENT.
When has the government been faster than the private sector in anything?
These STUPID people are just learning about 5G and making a false argument. The Wireless Companies are already building 5G, and have been for a while now.
The 5G will begin roll out THIS YEAR. These government morons still trying to figure out something that already debated over 5 years ago.
IDIOTS!
?
... an unprecedented nationalization of a historically private infrastructure.Not direct parallel, but see interstate highway system.
This is where I probably split with a lot of people here. This is one of the few bug government type things I favor.
Like the gubment took over the healthcare system...and everyone’s healthcare costs went down.
I’m in.
I see you consider “research” reading what a third party Leftist article says (that has lower readership because it’s a joke or fake news) vs. going directly to the source or the other side and asking who, what, when, where and why.
You read one side and believe everything they say hook, line and sinker...., without ever going directly to the other side and see what they are saying. Look at their evidence, ask who, what, when, where and why. This is very elementary which we learned in the 1st grade. Haha!
First the record NY Mag is DNC propaganda! Yet you post it like it’s legit. Second, it’s as fake as pizza gate. Pizza gate was red herring. Furthermore, Paris says Q got nothing right is absolutely hysterical. It’s just the opposite. Q has been spot on with every thing right before it happens. Hence, why people are paying attention to Q. Oh I know that’s not what you want to hear and believe because you are emotionally invested in the Fake Stream News.
I suggest you go directly to the source or go to top people talking about it and what Q has correct.
Wow man you are really brainwashed! Haha! S.M.H.
My question to you. If you really are a conservative, then why do believe the serial liars in the MSM? Knowing they lie just about everything with the exceptions of sport scores and next day weather.
If big telecom corporations had built the highways, they would be free, fast and well maintained in and immediately around the big cities.
But travel at a very slow rate of speed through a specific rural area would cost each driver $149.99 per month to be paid to the company owning that piece of turf.
“Non-competition agreements? Do you see any such agreement? Prove it! Pay up, or stop driving in the country!”
