Yeah, this is what 5g 'promises' to solve (I've heard about applications in Singapore and NY), despite the fact that no one has actually defined what 5g is.

- dogma1138 10y agoI don't see how exactly is that solvable, sure it would help but by how much? 3g/4g/5g is pretty nonsense, you can have 3.5g HSDPA/HSUPA providing considerably higher speeds than 4g it's all circumstantial. Covering a large metropolitan area is hard, tons of people, tons of high buildings and abstraction that make LOS pain in the ass, tons of shadows and reflections due to glass/steel construction and almost impossible to do large infrastructure project because opening a main road in a central city is a huge PITA, add to that all the people that do not want transmitters on their property, in LOS of them, near the school, near the hospital, near the playground and you get a pretty shitty situation. Sure there are things that some better regulation or incentives might solve but in the grand scheme of things not everything is scalable when you take it from a city of 500,000 to a city of 12M.
