But most of the places that will get 5G coverage already get a decent internet connection, so they could just use wifi instead, (given that the range of 5G is barely better than wifi.)

That much bandwidth is practically wasted on a mobile device anyway, as the actually do anything with that much data will drain your battery in no time at all.

Rural areas, which currently have to put up with the ADSL equivalent of a damp string, are lucky to get any phone reception, let alone an internet connection, so it'll make sod all difference to them. Taller masts might just be useful there though.
