Level 3/CenturyLink/Lumen CEO reassured panicked investors and employees scared that their company would be worthless with 5G and beyond by basically saying that the last mile will increasingly become the last tens or hundreds of meters and that fiber is still the infrastructure on which these increasingly dense base stations depend on. And that the “edge computing” will likely live on the cabinets owned by the fiber provider. It makes sense to me. Just add more fiber and let people access them over whatever. My biggest gripe is we could choose to do away with licensing fees and spectrum auctions and open mm wave 5G to be something like Wi Fi but we are shortsighted as usual.
