None of those create more radio spectrum. I don't see a real replacement for wireline fiber and ethernet ever.

Each "g" let us modulate more data in the same channel size. Spectrum re-use via smaller cells is virtually limitless.

And we're re-allocating more spectrum for 2-way data regularly.

  • But if the cells keep getting smaller, at some point it will be cheaper to just bury that one fiber to beat out 12G plus the next 5 generations, rather than buy another cell to cover that one household.
