LET'S GO AHEAD AND LOCK UP THOSE ANSWERS, FOLKS. LET'S SEE WHAT YOU VOTED FOR. YOU GOTTA BE FAST ON THIS QUIZ. AND 86% OF YOU SAID 40 AND YES, THAT IS THE CORRECT ANSWER THERE. I JUST SAID IT, WE MADE IT TO 36 LAST WEEK, BY ADDING COLUMBUS, OHIO, GREENSBORO AND RALEIGH. THIS WEEK, WE'LL BE ADDING DES MOINES, NEW ORLEANS, SEATTLE AND TUCSON. AND THAT BRINGS US TO 40.

HERE WE GO, LOTS OF QUESTIONS LEFT. YOU CAN STILL WIN. DON'T WORRY IF YOU MISSED THIS GIMME. 2. IN WHAT YEAR DID WE LAUNCH 5G MOBILE SERVICE IN PARTS OF OUR FIRST TWO CITIES? - 2017 - 2018 - 2019 - 2020 IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE THAT LONG AGO, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT KIND OF DOES, DOESN'T IT? LOCK UP THE ANSWERS THERE AND LET'S SEE WHAT YOU VOTED FOR HERE. LITTLE MORE THAN HALF OF YOU SAID 2019. DOESN'T THAT SEEM LIKE A LIFETIME AGO? THE CORRECT ANSWER IS... 2019. HALF OF YOU GOT THAT RIGHT. TRIVIA: ON APRIL 3, 2019, WE INTRODUCED 5G MOBILE SERVICE IN PARTS OF CHICAGO AND MINNEAPOLIS. CUSTOMERS IN THOSE CITIES WERE THE FIRST IN THE WORLD TO HAVE A 5G-ENABLED SMARTPHONE CONNECTED TO A 5G NETWORK. YES, I WAS THERE IN CHICAGO ON THAT DAY AND IT WAS SUCH AN EXCITING TIME. THE PRIDE FROM OUR NETWORK TEAM, OUR RETAIL TEAM -- IT WAS AWESOME THAT. PRIDE CONTINUES TO HELP US BUILD. OUR NEXT QUESTION HERE -- HERE WE GO. 3. OUR RESEARCH ENGINEERS RECENTLY SMASHED A WORLD SPEED RECORD BY ACHIEVING DOWNLOAD SPEEDS OF 5.06 GIGABITS PER SECOND. WHERE DID THE EVENT TAKE PLACE? - BEDMINSTER, NEW JERSEY - BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS, NEAR WENDOVER, UTAH - SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA - M-CITY TEST SITE, ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN WE TALKED ABOUT THIS DURING AN UP TO SPEED RECENTLY. WE HAD A MEMBER OF THE TEAM FROM THIS, FROM THIS GROUP JOIN US. LET'S GO AHEAD AND LOCK UP THE ANSWER AND THE CORRECT ANSWER IS... DRUM ROLL. BEDMINSTER, NEW JERSEY. 41% OF YOU GOT THAT CORRECT. WELL DONE. SOME DAY, WE MAY TEST 5G CARS ON THE BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS, THAT'D BE FUN. LOYAL UP TO SPEED WATCHERS RECALL, WE HAVE PAUL TALKING ABOUT THE TEAM TO REACH THAT FANTASTIC RESULTS. I BELIEVE KYLE MALADY OFFERED HIS CONGRATULATIONS AND THEN A HALF SECOND LATER HE SAID SOMETHING LIKE “HOW ‘BOUT 10 - CAN WE GET TO 10?” SO OUR CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER IS ALWAYS PUSHING TO DO EVEN BETTER, AS PER USUAL. WE ARE VERIZON VERSUS VERIZON. LET'S KEEP ON GOING HERE. 4. WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE LATEST PROMOTION TO ENCOURAGE CURRENT AND NEW CUSTOMERS TO GET A 5G PHONE? THIS SHOULD BE A GIMME. I LIKE HOW QUICKLY YOU GUYS ARE PUTTING IN ANSWERS HERE. - #SWAG - GO. FIGHT. WIN. - THE BI5GEST UPGRADE EVER - 5G BUILT RIGHT LOCK UP THOSE ANSWERS FOR ME, PLEASE AND LET'S SEE WHAT YOU VOTED FOR. 84% OF YOU SAID THE BIGGEST UPGRADE EVER WAS 5 IN THAT DOUBLE G THERE. THE CORRECT ANSWER IS THE BIGGEST UPGRADE EVER. EXCELLENT. FOLKS, WE MENTIONED THIS AT THE TOP OF THE SHOW. ONE OF THE REASONS CUSTOMERS ARE SO EXCITED TO SWITCH TO OUR 5G WIRELESS PLANS IS THAT WE’VE GOT THE BEST IN ENTERTAINMENT DEALS, INCLUDING DISNEY+ AND DISCOVERY+ FOR NEW CUSTOMERS, AND FOR GAMING FANS WE’VE GOT APPLE ARCADE OR GOOGLE PLAY PASS ALL ON US. IN FACT, SPEAKING OF GAMING, MORE NEWS TO COME ON THAT FRONT NEXT WEEK. THAT’S A LITTLE TEASER TO WATCH NEXT MONDAY. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU TUNE INTO UP TO SPEED FOR THAT. 5. WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE DOCUMENTARY THAT WE PARTNERED ON IN 2020 THAT TALKS ABOUT SOME OF THE IMPACT OF 5G? - THE POWER OF 5 - THE POWER OF 5G - THE SPEED OF THOUGHT - MOVING THE WORLD FORWARD WE TALKED ABOUT THIS ON UP TO SPEED AS WELL. SO, GO AHEAD AND GET YOUR ANSWERS IN. COMING IN SLOWER THAN LAST QUESTION. I'M SURE YOU'RE GOING TO GET THIS RIGHT. LET'S GO AHEAD AND LOCK UP THE ANSWERS AND SEE WHAT YOU SAID HERE. THIS IS A TOUGH ONE. 1/3 OF YOU PICKING EVERYTHING BUT THE FIRST. LET'S SEE WHO GOT IT RIGHT. THE CORRECT ANSWER IS THE SPEED OF THOUGHT. WITH 31% OF YOU. THIS IS WHERE FOLKS WILL START TO KIND OF -- WE SEE, WHO IS THE 5G PROFESSIONAL TRIVIA PLAYERS AND THE AMATEURS HERE. LET'S SEE, TRIVIA: THE DOCUMENTARY HIGHLIGHTED SOME OF THE MOST IMPACTFUL USE CASES OF 5G THAT CAN SAVE AND IMPROVE LIVES, INCLUDING ALLOWING SURGEONS TO PERFORM REMOTE SURGERY, HELPING FIREFIGHTERS TO SEE THROUGH SMOKE, AND USING AUGMENTED REALITY TO HELP CLOSE THE EDUCATION GAP. OK, LET’S LOOK AT THE SCOREBOARD…. ALEXANDER SMITH ANSWERED THIS QUESTION IN 35 SECONDS TOTAL, THAT'S AMAZING. STEVEN IN SECOND, NOAH IN THIRD. ALYSE IN FOURTH, JUDY IN FIFTH. THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU AREN'T, YOU KNOW, TOO FAR BEHIND TO WIN. ANYONE'S GAME. ALL OF THESE LEADERS TOOK LESS THAN A MINUTE TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS. THEY KNOW THEIR 5G. HOPEFULLY YOU DO TOO. THERE'S PLENTY MORE GAME GOING ON HERE AND WE'RE GOING TO HEAD TO OUR LIGHTNING REMIND. 6. WHAT DOES THE “G” IN 5G STAND FOR? - 5 GIGAHERTZ - 5 GIGS - 5TH GENERATION - SPEED THAT’S GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT VERY INTERESTING ANSWER. LET'S SEE IF ANYONE PICKS THAT ONE. THAT'S A NICE ANSWER. LET'S SEE WHAT YOU SAID. WHAT DOES THE G IN 5G STAND FOR? 81% OF YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT THAT. IT'S 5TH GENERATION. WE LAUNCHED OUR 3G NETWORK IN 2002, 4G IN 2010 AND JUST RECENTLY, WE LAUNCHED OUR 5G. LET'S KEEP TALKING ABOUT 5G WHAT'S THE UW IN 5GUW STAND FOR? - ULTRA WIDEBAND - UNDER WAVE - ULTRA WAVE - ULTRA WIFI WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR A LONG TIME NOW. GET YOUR ANSWERS IN VERY QUICKLY HERE. LET'S LOCK UP THE ANSWERS NOW. 96% OF YOU GOT THIS RIGHT, OF COURSE, IT'S ULTRA WIDEBAND. TRIVIA: OUR 5G ULTRA WIDEBAND NETWORK USES THE HIGH-BAND, ULTRA-WIDE MILLIMETER WAVE SPECTRUM - THINK OF IT LIKE AN INCREDIBLY WIDE, SUPERFAST HIGHWAY. THE EXTRA ROOM ALLOWS FOR ULTRAFAST SPEEDS AND REDUCED LAG TIME (LATENCY) SO THAT SMARTPHONES CAN HANDLE MULTI-PLAYER GAMING ON THE GO AND VIDEO CHATTING IN HD. ALL KINDS OF COOL STUFF. THIS IS, AS YOU KNOW, THE SPEEDS ARE OFF THE CHARTS HERE. 8. WHAT DOES IOT STAND FOR? - INSIDE ON TOP - INTERNET OF THINGS - INPUT OF THINGS - INPUTS ON TAPE LET'S SEE IF YOU GOT IT RIGHT. 96% SAID INTERNET OF THINGS AND 96% OF YOU ARE CORRECT. IOT IS INTERNET OF THINGS. TRIVIA: IOT IS A SYSTEM OF INTERRELATED COMPUTING DEVICES THAT HAVE THE ABILITY TO TRANSFER DATA OVER A NETWORK WITHOUT HUMAN-TO-COMPUTER INTERACTION. THIS IS ALLOWING THINGS LIKE HAVING TOOTHPASTE AND DISH SOAP AUTOMATICALLY ORDERED FOR YOU, LIGHTS THAT WERE LEFT ON AUTOMATICALLY TURNED OFF, AND A PERSONAL WISH OF MINE, HAVING AMAZON PACKAGES BROUGHT IN FROM THE FRONT PORCH. ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO THE END HERE. HOPEFULLY YOU'RE STILL IN IT TO WIN IT. 9. WHAT DOES MEC STAND FOR? - MULTI ENERGY COMPUTING - MILLIMETER ENERGY COMPUTING - MULTI-ACCESS EDGE COMPUTING - MILLIMETER EDGE COMPUTING LET'S SEE WHAT YOU SAID HERE. THIS ONE'S TRICKY. THIS IS A HUGE PART OF OUR 5G STORY. LET'S LOCK UP THE ANSWERS AND SEE WHAT YOU VOTED FOR HERE. 67% OF YOU SAID MULTIACCESS EDGE COMPUTING AND THE CORRECT ANSWER... I BELIEVE 67% OF YOU GOT THIS ONE CORRECT. TRIVIA: - THE CORRECT ANSWER IS MULTI-ACCESS EDGE COMPUTING. YOU WILL ALSO HEAR IT REFERRED TO AS MOBILE EDGE COMPUTING WHICH IS ALSO CORRECT. WITH MEC, DATA IS PROCESSED AND STORED AT THE NETWORK’S EDGE, NOT AT SOME DISTANT DATA CENTER. SINCE DATA DOESN’T HAVE TO TRAVEL SO FAR, IT SAVES TIME, GREATLY REDUCING LATENCY. - AS AN EXAMPLE, WHY IS MEC HELPFUL WHEN YOU ORDER SOMETHING ONLINE? BECAUSE IT CAN HELP POWER ROBOTS AND THE SOFTWARE THAT INTERACTS WITH THE ROBOTS TO COMPLETE TASKS THAT WOULD TYPICALLY REQUIRE A HUMAN. FOR EXAMPLE, PROCESSING ORDERS, CHECKING INVENTORIES AND PREPARING SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS COULD ALL BE AUTOMATED, HELPING YOUR PACKAGES ARRIVE FASTER. IT'S A HUGE REASON WHY BUSINESSES ARE GETTING SO EXCITED TO BE PART OF OUR 5G MEC STORY, SO, MULTIACCESS EDGE COMPUTING. THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. NEXT QUESTION HERE -- SECOND TO LAST QUESTION 10. WHAT DOES NAAS STAND FOR? - NEUTRAL AS A SOLUTION - NEURAL AS A SOLUTION - NETWORK AS A SERVICE - NETWORK AS A SURFACE THE BEST WAY TO DO WELL ON THESE QUIZ SEAS TO WATCH UP TO SPEED EVERY SINGLE DAY. THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN FIND THE ANSWERS HERE. SHAMELESS PLUG AS WE CONTINUE TO SEE THE ANSWERS POUR IN. LET'S LOCK UP THE ANSWERS NOW NAAS STANDS FOR NETWORK AS A SERVICE. A LOT OF YOU KNOW YOUR TRIVIA HERE IF YOU DIDN'T REALLY KNOW THE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS. KEEP WATCHING UP TO SPEED. WE'VE GOT THE ANSWERS FOR YOU. TRIVIA: - NAAS IS BASICALLY AN UNDERLYING PLATFORM THAT ALLOWS A PRIVATE COMPANY TO CONNECT USERS, DEVICES AND PARTNERS TO APPLICATIONS AND DATA WITHIN THE PUBLIC CLOUD AND THEIR OWN PRIVATE DATA CENTERS. - WHY DOES THAT MATTER? BECAUSE IT ALLOWS THEM TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF APPLICATIONS AND SERVICES THAT USE THINGS LIKE 5G, MEC, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, AUGMENTED AND VIRTUAL REALITY (AR/VR) AND MUCH MORE. THIS IS A HUGE PART OF OUR 5G STORY AS WELL. OK, LET’S TAKE ONE LAST LOOK AT THE SCOREBOARD BEFORE THE FINAL QUESTION…. LOOKS LIKE ALEX IS STILL ROCKING IT. JUST SURPASSED THE MINUTE MARK WITH HIS 10 QUESTIONS. HE'S 10 FOR 10. STEVEN IN SECOND, NOAH IN THIRD, ANNA LEASE AND CHRISTIE. FOR THOSE IN SIXTH, SEVENTH, EIGHT, NINTH, TENTH. THIS NEXT QUESTION COULD BE MAKE OR BREAK HERE. WITH THAT IN MIND, LET'S GO TO OUR FINAL QUESTION. WHEN WE LAUNCHED OUR 5G IN CHICAGO, IN APRIL 2019, TECH RADAR TESTED THE NETWORK USING WHAT IT REFERRED TO AS THE FIRST AVAILABLE 5G HANDSET. WHAT WAS IT? - SAMSUNG S10 5G - MOTO Z3 WITH A 5G MOD - LG V50 THINQ - XIAOMI MI10 REMEMBER THIS DEVICE FONDLY. I HAD ONE, MYSELF. WALKING AROUND CHICAGO, IN APRIL OF 2019. TESTING SITES AND NODES. I CAN TASTE THE DEEP DISH PIZZA DURING THE LUNCH BREAK THERE. LET'S SEE WHAT YOU VOTED FOR. LET'S LOCK UP THE ANSWERS. WHAT YOU SAID HERE. OOH! IT'S A CLOSE ONE. THE S105G OR MOTO Z 3. 53% OF YOU. THE CORRECT ANSWER, I'M SO HAPPY MORE THAN HALF OF YOU GOT THIS RIGHT. THE MOTO Z 3 WITH A 5G MOD AND THAT'S WHAT OUR VERY FIRST CUSTOMER USED AND WHAT A -- WHAT A HISTORIC MOMENT THERE TO PUT 5G IN THE HANDS OF OUR CUSTOMERS AND WE CONTINUE TO DO THAT WITH OUR BIGGEST UPGRADE EVER. LET'S GET THE REST OF OUR CUSTOMERS -- THE REST OF THE WORLD WITH A 5G DEVICE -- MAKE THEM FEEL THE POWER AND REALLY -- I REMEMBER THAT DAY. AH HAH MOMENTS EVERYWHERE AND WE CAN STILL CONTINUE TO CREATE THOSE MOMENTS. WITH THAT IN MIND, LET'S LOOK AT WHO IS ROCKING THE $50 GIFTCARDS. ALEX HOLDS ON HERE. TOOK HIM FIVE SECONDS TO ANSWER THE LAST QUESTION. 11/11. OUR TOP FIVE, STEVEN, NOAH, AMY AND DAVID. THEY ALL GOT IN IN UNDER A MINUTE 42 AND 11-FOR-11. GREAT JOB. THE HARDEST QUESTION WAS THE DOCUMENTARY. BUT YOU CAN FIND INFORMATION ON THAT, OF COURSE, ON VZ WEB. THOSE $50 GIFTCARDS WILL BE SENT YOUR WAY TO OUR WINNERS HERE. TO ALL, THANKS FOR PLAYING. HOPE YOU LEARNED A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT OUR 5G ULTRA WIDEBAND AND SOME OF OUR RELATED BENEFITS AND SERVICES. YOU CAN SEE THAT THE FUTURE IS EXCITING - AND IT DOESN’T HAPPEN WITHOUT US. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WITHOUT VERIZON 5G AND HOPEFULLY YOU ALL WALKED AWAY WITH A SENSE OF MORE KNOWLEDGE, MORE POWER AND WE CAN CONTINUE TO SPREAD THAT 5G STORY WITH OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. COUPLE THINGS BEFORE WE GO... COMING UP THIS WEDNESDAY AT 3:45 PM ET - CHECK OUT THE PALEY CENTER’S CELEBRATION OF PRIDE - ALL OF THE DETAILS ABOUT THE EVENT WILL BE LINKED IN TODAY’S ARTICLE.
