I remember hearing about this about a year ago. Now, Senator John Kennedy addresses it, clearly stating the horrific nature of how foreign entities attempt to take advantage of the US and, even worse, how some government officials aid them in their attempts of ridding America of it's money.

Senator Kennedy's speech on 5G Technology 5 mins. - The Short Version
In short, the US sells, at auction, $60B worth of Spectrum a year. This is US money. It's ours. Our government sells it. It's our money.
Now, some foreign entities have swaggered up to the FCC and suggested we (the US) should let them sell it (they've never done it before) and let them keep the $60B profit. And believe it or not, the FCC Chairman, Ajit Pai, is considering it! Literally, he is considering giving SIXTY BILLION US DOLLARS to a foreign entity simply because they asked for it. This is the most absurd business consideration. It's like a scam and the head of the FCC is either in on it or too stupid for his job. Someone needs to tell him that American is NOT for sale!
Ajit Pai was first appointed as FCC Chairman by Obama in 2012 and then by President Trump in January of 2017. It would be nice if President Trump reconsidered this appointment. Ajit Pai is not the right person for the job. He obviously didn't get the memo that American is not the world's sucker anymore and these kinds of deals (err...rip offs) are not going to continue to happen.
Senator Kennedy aptly points out that the $60B could put ONE MILLION American students through four years of college. It could pay for 1M new cops for a year. It could build 7000 miles of interstate. We could make sure that highspeed broadband reaches every American no matter their location, including far reaching rural America. The money could be returned to the 140 million taxpayers at a rate of approximately $430 per taxpayer. Suffice it to say, we could find plenty of ways to spend the money, here at home, on American citizens.
America is not for sale! It's open for business and there is a huge difference.
There are other issues with 5G. The US won't test it because it is so dangerous it won't pass the tests. It causes cancer. At a high voltage, it causes immediate death. So, think about it. If the system was hacked and the voltage was turned up, it could kill everyone in its range. That's dangerous! So, we need to go slow with it and determine how it benefits us. Do we really want it? If so, to what degree and how can we protect ourselves from it's harms? Running fast with scissors is always a bad idea.
The benefits of 5G is necessary if you want every car in American to be driverless. Do you want driverless cars? I think a lot of Americans enjoy driving. They enjoy the control and freedom of driving. Just because something can exist doesn't mean the American people want it. And even if they don't mind having driverless cars, do they want them at the expense of the increased risk of cancer? Or at the risk of the system being hacked by some enemy source, upping the frequency and having it wipe out an entire area? These are things to think about... Reasons to go slow enough to properly weigh our options.
Remember 4G is plenty fast. We don't need 5G for our devices to work as fast as they possibly can. If your device is slow it is because some entity has intentionally slowed it down. 5G will not change that dynamic. So, don't buy the hype. 5G proponents are so focused on getting it installed so quickly because they don't want us to have time to question it. They don't care if you die from cancer due to the increased 5G radiation. We must question 5G's benefits versus the health and security risks we face from it.
Breathe. Think. And move forward with courage, strength, joy and love for our beautiful country!
Nov 15th, 2019 - In early 2015, the FCC, under the direction of Ajit Pai, announced that it had made a list critical issues that need to be covered in the press and that it was going to go into various broadcast news outlets, sit down with reporters and ask them why they don't cover certain issues and inquire as to who makes such decisions. Wow! The FCC grants these new organizations a license to operate. The FCC has the power to allow a company to operate, or not, the FFC had the intention to question and pressure these companies to address issues that the FCC, the government under the Obama administration, wanted addressed. Does that sound like a dictatorial regime approach to anyone else? The idea that government get involved in what is and is not covered in the news, in the United States, is simply not an American value. It goes against the idea of free speech, freedom of the press, and a free society. President Trump should consider a more suitable candidate for the position. Like, someone who understands the fundamental principals of what the foundation of our country is based on. The FCC backed off the idea due to public outcry. Go USA!!!
So we know two things about Ajit Pai:
1. He's considering allowing a foreign entity to sell our spectrum valued at $60B, and for that entity to keep our $60B.
2. He's has considered intervening in the free press and pressuring companies to promote the government's agenda.
Just say no!
