One isn't really supposed to ask these questions, and just assume:
- that every cellphone user in the world is going to just run out tomorrow and buy a phone that's $200-300 more expensive to replace the phones they have now, have been replacing less and less of in the past half a decade, that they barely utilize to its fullest if the network were just prevalent everywhere today
- that some measurable fraction of the towers spaced every 150ft will not be vandalized, broken and sold for scrap in many places in the world and have to be replaced in order to have the throughput as advertised, that the companies will be just excited to replace, whose total cost will be less or the same as current infrastructure costs
- that despite the junk rating of many of the biggest teleco corps, they are well capitalized with pay for such a network from the ever increasing profits they reap from current consumers and wont have to rely on more junk financing and will take great care of the infrastructure just like all the great care they have put into existing infrastructure. Nothing in the future could ever threaten their solvency
I wish them all the best!
