Doesn't seem more dangerous due to the tech but due to the fact that no one from Western countries has actually built hardware that we can buy.

Then there becomes a fundamental issue with the telecoms wanting things hosted on their nodes for performance, and small scale sites being to little to for the telecoms to care. This is all still very speculative, but there isn't a telecom out there I'd trust to run my servers. I agree we could use nice ways to serve content more locally, and there's already some solutions here, but I'm struggling to see how it works as part of a cell network protocol without redefining a lot of how we expect the internet to work.
