$50.00/month in five cities.

If the mobile companies are providing the WiFi routers they can

everyones devices fighting for 5GHz then they may succeed.

The main issue is the artificial concept of "buying data" so you can get
online.

I don't see any legacy MNO's selling you unlimited access to their radio
network. So wi-fi hooked up to some kind of unlimited terrestrial wire
(fibre, copper, wireless, e.t.c.) is what will discourage the kids from
relying on MNO's to provide all of their connectivity needs, especially
in fixed settings such as homes and such.
