The US Department of Defense (DoD) released the responses to its September request for information (RFI) on how it might lease its spectrum and whether it should own and operate a domestic 5G network. Not surprisingly, most wireless industry players flatly rejected the notion of a nationalized 5G network but some remained open to the possibility of some kind of partnership with the US military. DoD can best meet its needs by relying on commercial networks and partnering with a global carrier, such as AT&T, that can support DoD s 5G operations in the US and around the globe, AT&T wrote in its RFI response in October. The DoD released the responses earlier this month.
