Hi Voornaam


You're receiving this inaugural edition of the WIREFREEZ newsletter because you have dealt with me at some stage during my 35 year career as a technology journalist.

For now I plan to send the newsletter out three times a week - Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Directly below is a short introductory video I have thrown together to explain what WIREFREEZ is all about, followed by the latest news about the superfast wireless universe of the past two days.

If at any stage you decide you do not want to stay informed about the latest developments in an industry that is about to usher in a new era of communications please hit the unsubscribe link.

However, I hope you do decide to stay and join me on the journey into the world of 5G and beyond because the ride has just begun and promises to be a long and fruitful one.
