That much infrastructure would be problematic in localised areas no
Part of the problem is that millimeter band radio signals barely penetrate buildings, leaves, trees etc. Struggles with fog and rain and basically dies if it snows. Difficult to transmit omnidirectionally too.
I suspect that the plan isn't to roll out the full fat service in large areas, perhaps just in stadiums etc as Soul suggested.

Damn, we're down to that level commercially? Last I read years ago, that was the stuff used for Astronomy shindigs.
@Soul I'm curious now about how all this operates. Higher frequency, more packet transfer? Seems like 5G has rolled out quicker than the transition from 3>4. Ignoring all the paranoia surrounding it, how easy is it to scale up in rural areas?

I'm not, you're right! Router stats say I'm at 5GHZ with 2.4GHZ active in case the former drops connection.
That much infrastructure would be problematic in localised areas no? Government subsidised or down to local authorities?
