#2I haven't much looked into 5G. Considering that 95% of the time I'm on WiFi anyway, I really don't get this push for faster and faster mobile speeds. (especially if there's potential to damage wildlife and us with it)

#3Paper here (not sure if this is the one cited by the article, but sounds like it): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-22271-3

#4Interesting. I would like to see more research - especially with humans. That waves used in 4G cause harmful effects on humans was proved to be not true. But those mmWaves for 5G are much higher frequency, and they get absorbed by more materials. Perhaps by human body too? It wouldn’t be healthy to be constantly exposed to waves like that. I definitely would like to see more research in this.

#5Inaccurate article.

Given that 5Ghz wifi barely goes through walls I couldn't believe when I read 5G was being tested on mm wave (24 to 86Ghz). Seems to me the point of it is to install a transceiver on every light pole to have higher resolution surveillance.

#7I cannot find a link to the study or studies mentioned.

#8Basically blog spam that cites an activist group that claims to have "published studies" that were published a year ago, having nothing to do with them.
It is of course a concern that should be looked at, but we're currently in the "fear monger" stage with 5G. Those people who do the studies are the good people, but the people who take it and misrepresent it leverage fear of change/the new.

If it's going to harm wildlife, the technology should be forbidden, without qualification or exception.
If not, I don't feel the need for faster speeds than what I get, but I would be very interested in getting more data per month at the same (or lower) monthly price. If a cellular provider could give me internet connectivity (LTE speeds) at a price of something like $1 per gigabyte I would drop my household's cable service in favor of that right away.

A very large part of it is Marketing people dying to have something new to sell people. LTE has reached market saturation, so 5G is the only thing they can use to sell people new phones and new data plans. They don’t care that they have setup this perverse system where they sell people on faster speeds, but then add data caps to deter them from using it.
A less sinister take might be that faster speeds allow each device to get off the air faster, enabling more devices to be used in the same area. But that’s mostly a technical solution and I highly doubt the advantages rise to the level that the Business side has started pushing it. Salespeople just see the commissions.
