The points in this article seem like more of the vague handwaving, fluff and obfuscation that the opening paragraphs purport to encourage us to ignore:
> A number of basic features can be distilled out of the enormous swirling 5G maelstrom that go far beyond the focus on political trivializations, lobbying, trolling for spectrum, and marketing in the popular press.
Great. Tell me about them...
> These features represent a tectonic change far exceeding anything seen in the history of electronic communications - in the way networks and services are instantiated and provided.
And that sentence sounds exactly like the "trivialisations" and "marketing" just mentioned.
Then proceeds to list 9 "features", 7 of which are either new buzzwordy marketing language for something pre-existing or describe tech that's parallel or orthogonal to 5G (but in no way an actual "part" of 5G itself).
Actual 5G radio is casually/briefly listed as point #7
