2G had better coverage than 3G
3G has better coverage than 4G LTE
4G LTE will have better coverage than 5G
How about next time we wait until current standards have the same coverage as previous standards * before * we cast the old ones aside?

I don't think that would be reasonable, considering the frequency differences, and thereby the signal range, of each generation. It only took a single tower to broadcast television, 70 years ago. It takes one 4G tower described as a tree every 4 blocks to get the same coverage, and multiple 5G transmitters per block to get the same coverage still.

@realcaseyrollins I suspect what we’re going to see for the short future is 5G rolled out in dense cities where it will get the most use and optimizations applied to the 4G LTE network, until they’re able to find a better delivery mechanism (having a phone “router” in your home, if you’re rural, for example).
Centralization is a huge limiting factor for US telecoms.
