Major wireless providers like AT&T and Verizon say that new fifth-generation wireless networks will deliver gigabit speeds—up to 100 times faster than 4G LTE networks. But this new service could widen the already significant digital gap between rural and urban households.  “According to FCC data, 31 percent of rural residents don't have fixed broadband service, compared to 2 percent of city residents. Despite the hype around 5G, there's still little financial incentive for the major telecom firms to spend the billions of dollars necessary to serve rural communities, experts say,” Kim Hart reports for Axios.
