Incidentally I just got exposed to some details about a Verizon 5G
build. They're putting a microcell on a pole every 1500 feet.
Every. 1500. Feet. This happens to be a distributed antenna system where
they're using RFOG to bring the signal from a central base station to
each of these microcells. Each one is fed by a 12 fiber ribbon, so it's
a 288 count cable running down the road from cell to cell.
My mind was blown. The money they must be dumping into this 5G thing is
so great that it's hard to understand why they prefer that over Fiber to
the prem. Service drops are hard? Or demand for mobile capacity is
really that huge?

Read a good report from a writer that tried 5g all over downtown
Chicago. No surprises. Sucks just as bad as any other mm wave
with less than ideal los. Nothing to worry about.

I had a customer today say very authoritatively that 5G will
give all rural users gigabit speeds and wanted to know when we
were switching to it (houses on his road are 2 per mile).
Of course I also had a support call from a customer putting his
email address into Firefox to get his email, and another who
couldn’t understand that her domain registrar was asking her to
create security challenge questions, not to answer them. My
customers are not necessarily the sharpest knives in the drawer.

LTE wasn't a twinkle in anyone's eye when Clearwire was
deploying WiMax.

By not choosing LTE, they lost the change of interop, volume
manufacturing etc..

I don't think that had anything to do with it. There wasn't
anything inherently wrong with WiMax.

That and that they hung their hat on WiMax (in the beginning).
