Vodafone goes 5G, Telstra talks mmWave, Aust gov considers online porn age check: Vertical Hold Episode 268

5G shifts into a higher gear as Vodafone launches 5G, while the Australian government ponders mandatory age checks for porn and gambling online in the latest episode of Vertical Hold!

Vertical Hold is proudly brought to you by our new show sponsor, Aussie Broadband!

We’re joined this week by Alex Choros from Whistleout to talk through the week’s news, which has been dominated by 5G talk.
