It's good news. State-sponsored 5G in the USA would be great, and unprecedented. Hopefully we can agree on that.

Is Qualcomm better?

Trump's nationalized 5G idea is brilliant in that it consolidates all efforts, but also serves to protect freedom. Under the privatized approach we use now, wireless ISPs spy on us, and sell the data to the government. That's constitutional and legal, because the government didn't do the spying. Under a nationalized plan, it would be unconstitutional for the government to conduct dragnet spying.
Do we drive on corporate owned highways? No, and we have the most extensive highway system in the world. For comparison, look how well privatized rail worked out. You're right. Privatized infrastructure sucks.

The definition of "national security" keeps getting looser over the years.

And let's not talk about where the term "Banana Republic" originated.
Moving away from the US - thus it has always been. The good old East India Company springs to mind.

A good chunk of the national interstate system consists of toll roads, some of which have been privatized (ex: Indiana Toll Road). And the quality of the interstate highways varies greatly by the state. I wouldn't hold out the US public highway system out as an example of how great public infrastructure is maintained...
