> If the citizens want 5G, they're not going to be happy with the city pushing the costs up.
Correct, which means that the citizenry will force the city to levy smaller fees. If the citizens don't care (and, at least in my part of the country, most couldn't care less), then everything's good. I don't see the problem here.
> Unusually, the FCC seems to be doing its job here, lowering the barriers to tech rollout.
That isn't the FCC's job.
