And more interestingly, if that city's residents and visitors had the
option of connecting to active 5G or wi-fi, what do we think they'd choose?


Currently /me don't bother switching to wifi in public places bcz LTE provides enough bw for my humble needs. And when the next phone will be released with 4k 120fps camera and 4k display there will be a lot of people (not only kids) who will use it and abuse it all the time for gaming, streaming ,etc. It's not about competition with WiFi, it's just a new thing that is coming. But 5G will take away it's share of fixed users for sure. When first iphone was released it was pretty much useless toy because all apps were bound to Internet and cell networks were you know where at that time with public WiFi only starting to take off. But now we can't live without services which are novadays considered as basic and then were fancy technology break-outs for geeks.


Kind regards,
Andrey
