Cable 5G transport shows promise and complexity
As cable providers are preparing to provide transport services for 5G, Crown Castle is expanding its fiber network, while Verizon and AT&T appear to be establishing their own fiber-based transport wherever possible. The industry is exploring how its WiFi coverage and emerging role in Citizens Broadband Radio Service can fit into the mix. The anticipated business models include "providing wholesale transport services to mobile network operators and the potential for small cell and other support services for businesses and institutions."
