Yeah 200MHz band guard is a massive guard. You can fit all of the FM band 4-5 times in that range. Also the resonate frequency water has a high attenuation factor so radio waves wouldn't be used there because they transferred a huge portion of there power to heat vibration water. As for use cases it's a faster network in latency terms. There might be fewer use cases for it now but there were no use cases for WiFi before wifi exist. Once that infrastructure is built people will use it. By definition it's impossible to get a latency of less than 10ms on a large portion of LTE networks. If you have a sensor that requires a response that fast you simply won't use LTE because it's not possible to meet those mission requirements. 5G also has that beam forming whose goal is reduce congestion and solve the penetration issues but that is still being proven

Low latency tasks such as edge AI classification, IOT interaction, and game streaming are all currently limited to WiFi only. > Once that infrastructure is built people will use it. This is a fallacy.

  I would argue that that statement is true because it's talking about 5G whose features vastly outcompete LTE in many areas. I suppose there is a chance people won't use 5G but I think it's really unlikely considering the standards already been adopted and being used by many big name players. All of this was to say that 5G has applications even if they might not appear to the OP and that it's only going to be used more once people can actually access 5G technology. It's still in the early stages even in areas which claim that are on 5G for the most part its 5G NSA mode where the backing core network is all LTE still. I also feel as though OP was really talking down 5G trying to bring nonsensical technically problems and unproven medical problems that have no evidence. You yourself pointed out several applications but your quoting the very advantage I was talking about which was latency. Which we both agree is extremely beneficial but the over arching point is that we don't know all the things that will benefit from 5G because we have not observed them and while IoT, AI, and streaming will absolutely benefit the benefit does not end there. There absolutely will be more areas that benefit which is what I'm trying to communicate
