The UK’s 5G rollout is progressing well, with average speeds boosted nearly five times in areas where 5G is available, according to mobile network benchmarking firm Global Wireless Solutions (GWS).

Because that’s the way it’s always been, from the days when women weren’t even allowed to vote for councillors, let alone be one.

On Sunday, Super Bowl LV kicked off with a smaller crowd in attendance than in past years due to the coronavirus pandemic. As we previously reported, a number of tech companies were using 5G, augmented reality, and more to enhance the experience for fans in attendance and those tuning in at home. The confetti has since settled after Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hoisted the Vince Lombardi Trophy, but the data related to stadium 5G, food delivery, mobility, and more are starting to roll in.
