I wonder if the wireless providers are *replacing* (low-band) 4G antennas with
5G high-band antennas. And if they expect *everyone* will go out and trade in
their 4G phones for 5G phones. <sarcasm>Afterall the providers are providing
all sorts of "deals" for brand new 5G phones, so presumably *everyone* is
trading up and who cares about the hicks and hayseeds who are keeping their
old 4G phones. Never mind that the 5G high-band antennas have 1/2 the range
of the 4G antennas, since being twice as fast makes up for that,
right?</sarcasm>
