The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States will auction off previously reserved 5G spectrum, potentially speeding up next-generation wireless rollout. As device makers continue to release 5G-enabled phones and tablets, Macworld executive editor Michael Simon and Computerworld executive editor Ken Mingis join Juliet to analyze what a speedier rollout could mean for consumers and enterprises alike. Plus, French regulators recently sided with Apple over its new privacy rules that would allow users to opt out of ad tracking across apps and websites. Michael, Ken and Juliet will compare Apple's new policy to its competitors, and discuss whether or not those competitors would ever adopt similar guidelines.
