content: Imagine an alternate universe where 5G is somehow perfectly safe, and there are no ulterior motives. Would cell carriers bother investing in it? It would not make the internet feel faster for phones, since it does nothing about latency or rendering speed, only bandwidth. Further, it is extremely costly to implement with very small operating ranges. The only real advantage the technology brings to the table is the ability to livestream sports at 4k to your phone, which I'm sure a few enthusiasts will care about, but doesn't affect most people. Follow the money. The cell phone carriers aren't going to make any money from 5G directly. So why are they pushing so hard to implement it?
