I live in a pretty small community, and we have had 5g popping up at an alarming rate. There is no ROI for putting these 5g towers up that can only reach around 500 to 1k feet. The number of towers they have to put up is ludicrous. From the same cellular companies who had to be forced to spend money on towers a decade ago, suddenly they are perfectly willing to throw billions on 5g rollout. The whole thing stinks. They are clearly not for giving us faster streaming speeds.

I wonder if part of their purpose is for autonomous robots that require high-bandwidth communication. At some point they'll probably make an appearance.
