Per the trade war, Trump and the US gov have effectively banned Huawei from building 5G towers. I am wondering, who is set to provide the towers for ATT, Verizon, Sprint and Tmobile? The only other options seem to be Nokia and Ericsson? Also, are there any sources on how the four major carriers are going to afford the rollout (I couldn't find specifics from the respective 10Ks)? From the information I have been reading, 5G will require hundreds, if not thousands, of more towers than 4G. Some time ago the Trump admin suggested that the private sector will do it all themselves. Has there been any appropriation of funds from the US gov for the rollout? I know ATT is strapped to its heals in debt, so I wonder how they will accomplish this rollout specifically.
Thanks for any insights you may have.
