Outside of the spoiled grandchildren ;) mentioned at the end of the article, I can relate to all the issues bringing usable 5G to rural America. We can resolve some issues now like no power availability with solar PV/hybrid solutions, and no fiber availability with MW backhaul if there are any scraps of microwave spectrum left in these rural applications. However, carriers often grumble and groan at the expense when you do solve all of the rural issues relating to building the right wireless communications site. We have many (unpopulated southwest US areas) rural highways and interstates that carry upwards to 25,000 cars AADT (average annual daily traffic) with sizable coverage holes, so grumble away. If you still want to cover that 8 mile stretch of highway through public lands with no fiber or power, we got you...
