Perhaps in some cases, but not in most. For example, I live in a brick house with a metal roof on a farm, near the edge of most mobile providers' cells for the respective towers.

As I go further rural, the impact is mostly due to coverage, not a lack of capacity. Most 5G won't fix that, with the exception of T-Mobile, who is deploying 5G on a lower frequency. As I go further suburban and urban, the performances generally increases. 5G will likely be there first, but there generally isn't a performance issue in those situations. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: "Mike Hammett" <[email protected]> Cc: "Shane Ronan" <[email protected]>, "Sabri Berisha" <[email protected]>, "nanog" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 31, 2019 8:14:16 AM Subject: Re: 5G roadblock: labor I think you are overestimating the existing network in most cases.
