Recently I was doing some research on the 5G roll-out. I found an interesting stat regarding LTE in the US: LTE performance in the US is lower than most places, but LTE coverage (supposedly) is generally good. I wonder if fudging the coverage numbers accounts for this oddity. This could have an influence on 5G roll-out since US carriers are heavily indebted. If that's inhibiting capex and if the US network is already behind other nations' carriers' LTE networks because it was starved of capex, US carriers might be extra cautious about spending on 5G, which is supposed to raise opex, too.
