A big benefit not mentioned is usage in high density environments—think stadiums. The idea there is to stick multiple mmWave antennas over the stands. Those have very short range and high bandwidth (you can kind of think of them like radar that can communicate with you).
I am personally excited for this use case since the base of the ski area that I frequent during the winter is serviced by one macro cell for an entire region including that ski area. On a busy day, the network is useless by 11am apart from calling and SMS (which are prioritized differently).
