When 5G isn’t the magic they thought

What will they do? 5G is not quite up to the hype, and signal strength is already as high as can be. Many towns are blocking or stalling build because of safety concerns.
So when the magic wand they are betting on turns out to be just a stick, what will the “New New Direction” be?

5G will work eventually, but it is going to take 5-10 years to build out. I'll be retired by then, so I won't care. The real winners will be cable operators with reasonably priced triple plays. People are tired of being hosed by expensive c-appy streaming services, and overpriced wireless services. So if Hans thinks people are going to pay premium prices for data services, I think he's mistaken.

I havent seen one town block because of safety concerns. Most of the issue is the way all these poles look once you have 3 carriers up and down the same roads

They will sell wireline to pay for 5GHEE. Don't worry, Hans says it will change the world and he is always right.
