The United States is being outspent by China in the race to build the next generation of wireless communication, known as 5G, and it risks losing out on the potential economic benefits, according to a report by consulting firm Deloitte published on Aug. 7.
China currently has 10 times more sites to support 5G communications than the United States. In just three months of 2017, Chinese cell phone tower companies and carriers added more sites than the United States had done in the previous three years, the Deloitte report found.
