AT&T Executive Says It'll Take Time to Find 5G Price Point

Finding a price point for 5G will take time, AT&T CEO-Communications John Donovan said Wednesday at a Credit Suisse conference. “Ultimately, it's going to be a function of the value to the consumers and your competition, so it's hard to say,” he said: In some applications, fifth generation “will be worth a lot and certain applications, it will be worth a little.” The company is “certainly the leader” in 5G in the U.S. and perhaps the world, Donovan said. AT&T is targeting business customers in its initial 19 deployments, which have all been targeted, Donovan stressed. Initial deployments were in a hospital in Chicago and Samsung robotic manufacturing plant in Austin.
