This is one of the things I have trouble understanding too. It’s a complex issue, but it seems like it would be best opened to the public where next generation radio technologies can evolve. I don’t think 5G/LTE will go away but there may be new technologies which are more open and integrate within the existing frameworks. I imagine some kind of public mesh net/CDN that goes out to LTE/5G only when necessary to access information not in the local context.
