Verizon said it will also give a 10 year price lock for new customers, no long-term contract required.

- The fixed-wireless offering is an alternative to cable, with multiple pricing and service options and no data limits.
- Verizon offers a price lock for 10 years, no long-term contract required, and professional installation included.
- According to the Verizon 5G Business Report, business decision-makers largely agree that 5G will create new opportunities for their company (80%), their industry (79%), and their role (79%).
“As 5G Business Internet scales into new cities, businesses of all sizes can gain access to the superfast speeds, low latency and next-gen applications enabled by 5G Ultra Wideband, with no throttling or data limits,” said Tami Erwin, CEO of Verizon Business. “We’ll continue to expand the 5G Business Internet footprint and bring the competitive pricing, capability, and flexibility of our full suite of products and services to more and more businesses all over the country.”
The service launched on April 15th in parts of Anaheim, Atlanta, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City (Missouri), Las Vegas, Miami, Minneapolis, Phoenix, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, St Louis, and St. Paul.

I now believe that the distinguishing 5G use case – Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) using mmWave spectrum- is NOT an official ITU IMT 2020 use case. All the high speed wireless ISPs use mmWave for line of sight point-to-point transmission.
The reason for this is that the other three official use cases ((Enhanced Mobile Broadband, Ultra High Reliability/Low Latency, Massive Machine to Machine) are either: only marginally better than 4G-LTE (eMBB), not realizable yet (URLLC), or not needed (mM2M).
