The US definitely benefits from economies of scale difficult to reproduce in the Caribbean e.g. US$40/month for unlimited phone/SMS/data but capped at 5Mbps. I would be quote happy paying US$50/month, per 1Mbps of fully unlimited data service if it was reliable – regardless of the “G”.

Because, indeed 5G despite the hype prior to its advent, I for one have not appreciated its impact. And likewise, there is a danger that authorities may misappropriate its potential. Therefore, having a more informed understanding of its basic characteristics and potential is warmly welcome.
