My understanding of 5G has always been that it’s just more short range nodes which should provide better service in densely populated areas. That’s pretty much it. Some telecoms seem to be positioning this as an opportunity to provide home internet access running through 5G infrastructure which would cut down on last mile costs, but at the same time it seems like it would saturate the spectrum pretty quickly. During all the 5G hype I’ve been buying up stocks of companies based on how much backbone fiber they own, because as far as I can tell that’s where the real staying power is anyway.
