Yes, 5G is the dystopian world of centralized networks. An attempt to take control back from communities and give them to Telcos. It is more a death match than a friendly contest.
The piece is frustrating, like almost all 5G writing is that it misses the point and treats 5G as an alternative to WiFi doesn’t get to the real point – the make all radios generate billable events and frustrate communities’ efforts to own their own facilities. Similar to the problem with LTE – it’s a useful technology but currently captive to the telco business model.
