I really didn't want to know this, but yes I did

Wait, why the hell is the 'race to 5G' even a race? - The Verge


This race is imaginary bullshit. It's being foisted on us by huge telecom companies that know internet access is fundamentally a commodity and want something new to sell at high prices instead of competing to improve service and lower prices on the networks they have. After all, the United States "won" the "race" for LTE, but it bears repeating: our LTE networks are among the slowest in the world, and our prices among the highest. What did winning that race accomplish for the millions of people across the country that still can't get a reliable LTE signal?
