5G is replacing copper even companies are not competing with different technologies.<p>In countries where telecom companies provide both fixed broadband and mobile broadband there are plans to shut down last-mile copper and move into fiber and 5G only. Telenor Norway plans to end last-mile copper by 2025. Fixed wireless access has already started with 4GLTE. Already existing services where you get both fiber and 4GLTE together for faster service are also already a reality.<p>The main benefit from 5G over 4G is larger bandwidth cost effectively.
