What a strange piece of corporate PR.

tboyd47• 7 years ago

It's not strange, it's laughably pathetic. This is how they want consumers to feel about 5G- bursting with anticipation and begging our corporate overlords for it.

I thought it was just a satirical work?

What part of this whois lookup actually says "corporate PR"?

throwanem3• 7 years ago

The part where the registrar is a corporate PR firm that includes DNS in its menu of the services it provides its clients.

It's not a generic Namecheap/GoDaddy/Gandi registrar with their associated WHOIS privacy protection like you'd expect from some indie web developer having a laugh. There's no online registration tool, instead you have to email/call CSC Digital Brand Services to get connected to a salesperson who will figure out if you're worth their time and how much money they can quote for the service.

That isn't proof by any stretch, but is an indicator that it's a corporate PR effort by a Verizon competitor instead of just a practical joke.

It's registered through a service (CSC Corporate Domains) that is unavailable to a private individual.

Both Sprint and AT&T use CSC for some of their corporate domains -- and I wouldn't be surprised if some MVNOs do as well -- so it's difficult to tell who might be behind it.

When reading this page my first thought was, “this reads kind of like it was written by T-Mobile’s CEO.” Not to say that I don’t think Verizon sucks though, I definitely don’t like any ISP or mobile phone provider very much.

Curiously, I saw another story today pointing to Verizon 5G maps which are now available: https://www.verizonwireless.com/5g/coverage-map/

Here in Minneapolis (one of the first two cities that got it), there are 6 (count them, 6) locations downtown near the Vikings stadium, and that's it. Yeah, I won't be ponying up for that any time soon.
