Mobile network companies have backed themselves into a corner by racing to roll out 5G, taking on piles of debt with few returns to show for their investments (Allison Johnson/The Verge)

The Verge · The race to 5G is over — now it’s time to pay the billBy Allison Johnson
Gabriele Pollara

@Techmeme @rjcc this is a v good piece. I never understood the thirst for 5G. Yes faster, but how fast can you consume content anyway? I still use 4G day to day because it uses less battery on my phone and truly is not limiting for any data requiring function on my phone (including video!).

Interested in the idea that 5G will have built up capacity for the future, but as the article points out, there wasn't all this rush to introduce it.
