as far as I can remember and from what I have seen around the web, all 5g is is a joint venture between Samsung and Ericsson.
Ericsson are developing the "tower side" of the tech and Sammy is working on the handset side. from what I have seen there is one tower in Korea that is purely for testing purposes, very close to the RnD center for Sammy, and they did tests and published the results, I can remember exactly how fast it was but I know it was faster than anything I had ever read about before. That was until those guys in the Us did the terabyte/s fiber connection that utilized a different clock speed on the network cards, 30Hz I believe, but again this is all from memory.
Now imagine the world where we have the 5G tec in operation, and the towers connect to exchanges via the crazy fiber lines, we do somewhere around 1Gb/s to the tower, the tower does Tb/s to the exchange and the Exchange has an even better connection to the rest of the world. Internet so fast local storage will become a waste of space
anyway, while 5g is exiting, to get the frequency free from our government will simply not happen, and the rest of the world will have instant internet, we will have the equivalent of dial up.
also I remember reading about South Korean Network operators saying 4G is a financial trap for them as the cost to implement is high, the price of data is so low, and the network penetration is so deep, everyone simply gets smartphones on uncapped data packages (that are much cheaper than the unlimited packages here) and uses IM/VOIP calling, leading networks to hemorrhage money left right and center. Think that will ever happen in SA? nope.....
