ok, fair enough :)
I wonder how much the sub 1 GHz penetrates the buildings anyway if the transmitter is at the street.
5G won't solve the building penetration without entering the building, which 4G could do just as well.
the local folk have been pimping the idea that: "hey, just run a 4g/lte/g5 cell service inside your building/business, backhaul over cable-modem/etc and jam on..." of course there's 'someone' who sells the cellular + backhaul kit, this is only workable on <700mhz?> frequencies (maybe 'band 3' ?? or something) and so far hasn't really taken off as near as I can tell. again, it SOUNDS like an interesting business model... :)
