> So perhaps you're assuming that 5G will result in unlimited data and the obsolescence of cable internet as a result, but that's not obvious, at least to me.

For some reason with every new generation of mobile broadband many people think this is just around the corner but I have yet to find any basis for this belief.

It's actually been happening for awhile now: https://www.telecompetitor.com/pew-smartphone-only-homes-gro... https://www.pewinternet.org/2015/12/21/home-broadband-2015. Fixed broadband use peaked in 2013, at 70%. Now it's at 65%.
