it suggested other hypotheses as well, including one that they hadn't thought of and are investigating

IMO this can be neatly solved with a peer-to-peer market based system similar to Helium https://www.helium.com/mobile.

(I know that helium's original IoT network mostly failed due to lack of pmf, but idk about their 5G stuff)

Network providers get paid for the bandwidth that flows over their nodes, but the protocol also allows for economically incentivizing network expansion and punishing congestion with subsidization / taxing.

You can unify everyone under the same "network", but the infrastructure providers running it are diverse and in competition.

ask yourself who is doing the whipping into frenzy

the media + bureaucratic class + democrat leaders who all have a vested interest in these un-audited institutions remaining in the shadows,

or

the people doing exactly what half the country asked them to do: clean up the government in an unprecedented way

let "idiots" babble and get their arguments refuted by further discourse. Sorry that i don't feel the need to have a magical truth authority tell me whats right or wrong. You don't know what a journalist is.
