5G can’t go through rain or buildings. It needs millions of microtowers, which means tens of millions of miles of new wired infrastructure if it’s ever going to get the speeds that it claims make its rollout worthwhile. Instead of wasting time with the towers when you already need to lay lines, why not just have the good infrastructure–the lines?
which means tens of millions of miles of new wired infrastructure
And more specifically fiber optics. Which is why there's fiber optic stocks looking like this: https://i.imgur.com/aLEtHxF.png
Here's the logic: build a vast fiber optic and wired network, connect it everywhere, EXCEPT the last few hundred feet into customer's homes. Instead place an irradiating antenna outside their bedroom window, and convince everyone we don't need no stinking wired networks.
Yeah qwop, we dont need no stinkin' brain cells. Maybe 5G will be painless and we'll just go blank and not care anymore. 5G bothers me even more than child trafficking, if you can imagine.

I just want faster wired communications. It can’t be that hard. Not nearly as hard as building the microinfrastructure for 5G.

Hold up... I'm not a fan of 5g, but, it's much harder to lay down fiber line for faster physical line networking then it is for wireless.
Hence look at Africa, no infrastructure for wired networking, only wireless (although there it's also about giving them less to steal... lol)
