Austria is trying to make itself a world leader in 5G.
The main provider of 5G in Austria is A1, which is ultimately owned by Carlos Slim (!!), switched on its 5G network on 25th January this year, with Kitzbuhel in Tyrol the first. The first cases of Covid-19 in Austria were in Tyrol a month later, but the source of these cases was assumed to be from Italy. Tyrol is obviously also very cold. And it was A1 who was the first telecom, possibly first in the world, to hand over customer data to the government without any legal requirement to do so.
I find this a thing to make you go, hummm... There may be something in all that. Or maybe not.
Austria is rolling out its world-leading 5G network throughout this year.
So if 5G really is a cause of Covid-19, or Covid-19 is being used as a cover for deaths from 5G, then a constantly accelerating rise in Covid-19 cases is to be expected, though the frequency of the 5G could play a crucial role in this.
Covid-19 cases in Austria seem to have peaked but are still slowly rising, which has prompted the Austrian government to relax the lockdown, with small shops and garden centres to be opened next week. The fatality rate of deaths against recovery is currently 5%.
The new telecommunications standard “5G” promises hyper-fast connections (up to 20,000 Mbit/s), less lag, or “latency,” and the ability to connect many devices to the internet without bogging down. Seen by many as the backbone of the emerging digital economy, supporters see it as essential for interconnected factories and the basis for increasingly autonomous traffic. Others fear 5G’s geopolitical risks, as in recent international rows over Chinese-made Huawei hardware and infrastructure.
Either way, Austria has decided to be at the vanguard. It could be a game changer.
