Existing 4G LTE connections work well enough for those use cases you listed; users will hardly notice any difference on 5G. The real benefit of 5G will be in the new types of applications it enables.

Today... But when webpages become 50 MB each on average, you're going to be waiting a long time for them to load over LTE...

Those 'new applications' will be old applications with a few thousand more JavaScript libraries bundled with every page load...

From the experience with LTE-based FWA in the boonies: 50 MB webpages each is fine. Even if someone else is watching youtube on the same connection.

so for everyone outside China/the US: what's the problem if you have to stop the consumption of surveillance tools?
