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?
There is one major drawback to millimeter waves, though—they can’t easily travel through buildings or obstacles and they can be absorbed by foliage and rain. That’s why 5G networks will likely augment traditional cellular towers with another new technology, called small cells.

WHY NOT JUST BUILD A REAL FUCKING FIBER NETWORK INSTEAD.
Why not just put us in a real physical cage that everyone can see. What's the fucking difference? We cant escape the planet anyway. Why not just let them implant chips in our heads. It would be cheaper.

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)

Yes it can. I see you don't understand things like ef
