5G?! 5G?! Hold your horses!
We barely have 3G where I live and where there is 4G I've heard complaints of spotty and unreliable service.
Let's get 4G in anywhere other than big cities and running stable first before we start talking about 5G.
This is about the point we were talking about 4G. 3G hadn't been deployed hardly at all, but standards groups were already working on the 4G specs. (And, actually, we had 3 or 4 of them. I'm just glad we more or less settled on one - LTE - in the US.)

Sooner or later this will come to a brick wall and something will have to give.
Tell that to DSL. This morning, I read an article on new VDSL2 deployments offering 1gbps service in Europe.
Most of the US doesn't even have 10-year-old VDSL yet, let alone 8-year-old VDSL2 or the slightly newer vectoring tech. The fastest DSL service I can get is 1.5mbps
