It never worked unless you were walking on the street. Expensive too, I heard $20 per antenna. Millimeter is good for fixed antenna and delivering internet last mile to homes. Verizon bought into it millimeter while TMobile focused on mid bands, why T-Mobile is faster on average than Verizon. People use their phones indoors.

Absolutely correct on all the above.
T-Mobile is also using mmwave and retaining it in urban cores, but returning a lot of the spectrum.
There's a LOT of spectrum work being done at the FCC right now... Or was...
