AT&T will test 5G with DirecTV this year:

"AT&T (T, Tech30) announced Wednesday that it plans to begin testing its faster 5G network for streaming videos through DirecTV Now in Austin households.
The trial, expected to take place in the first half of 2017, will test how well the next-generation wireless network handles "heavy video traffic," according to a company announcement.
AT&T says its 5G service has hit speeds of up to 14 gigabits per second in lab tests, significantly faster than the current 4G network. That would cut the delay for streaming or downloading movies and shows over a wireless connection. (Disclaimer: AT&T agreed in October to buy Time Warner, the parent company of CNN. The deal is pending approval by regulators.)"
