In my tiny EU country, 4G already covers 99% of the population and unlimited data plans for homes are available from 19 EUR / month. Yet, nobody is talking about 5G or the urgent need for it.

I found this article to be not about politics, but about journalism. Otherwise, I would have probably flagged it myself. I understand, that for some people it might be hard to see beyond the politics of their own country.

I think it's pretty clear to everyone that 1% cashback can only be offered in North America and other markets, as the interchange fees for Visa and Mastercard consumer debit cards are capped at 0.2% of the transaction value in the EU.
