It should be a reminder that not all artifacts have to simply news stories or studies. I found this artifact while searching for internet news and after seeing what the article really was, I considered looking for a new one. Instead, I am including it because of what it represents.
This article is somewhat thinly veiled (although many readers probably would not be able to tell) marketing by Crown Castle. Crown Castle a real estate investment trust. The article talks about how 5G is the next step after the pandemic for connecting people. The guest writer, St. Martin K. Torrance, government affairs manager at Crown Castle, talks about how his company's technology will allow for 5G to be implemented in Philadelphia efficiently and cheaply.
He states that "5G communication infrastructure is critical for preparing Philadelphia for the future, while helping to ensure that Philadelphians are connected regardless of their location and address long-term problems of connectivity." He also states that his company has worked with the city of Philadelphia in the past.
This article shows that 5G is lucrative, and a potential area where Comcast may lose some footing with regards to Philadelphia Internet.
