US telecommunications firm Verizon has suspended the rollout of its 5G Home broadband service until H2 2019. After launching in four cities, the company's next generation network has been paused until it can switch to the industry-backed 5G NR technology, rather than its current 5G TF. The decision to put the rollout on hold suggests Verizon's initial 5G launch was to lay claim to being the first carrier to do so, according to some, including John Legere, T-Mobile’s CEO. Verizon’s first fully deployed markets are sections of Houston, Indianapolis, Sacramento, and Los Angeles.
