Re: Why. Just why?
Being able to pluck a few hundre megabit out of the air is a lot cheaper than having to lay proper telecoms infrastructure to remote homes and businesses. In one fell swoop at least the UK govt can hit their target of having "super fast broadband" available to the whole UK population by allowing mobile co's to put up a few more masts and sell 5G routers as static internet connections.
