The ironic part is that mobile 5G is basically pointless. Fixed 5G could provide competition to cable companies if it actually works, but mobile 5G’s range is so short that anywhere with mobile 5G will be getting several hundred mbps on 4G from the same site and fiber improvements necessary for 5G that 5G itself is pointless. The upside is that the areas that get a dense small-cell buildout for 5G will have way better 4G service as a result that virtually everyone can use as soon as the cells go up and the fiber is lit up for them.
