5G cell service implications

What does upcoming 5G service mean for landlords?   I gather cable companies will be displaced as internet service providers.   Currently cable comes into house, connects to modem than to router which sends out wifi signals and also through ports and ethernet cords.   I've been making efforts to wire my apartments for ethernet, because it is a faster more reliable connection than wi fi, though wifi is sexy it is just not as good besides the convenience factor of walking your labtop around the apartment.  But if the source signal is 5G wireless cell service does that make ethernet meaningless?

What other implications?   Tenants bills will go down?   Landlords will have cheap monitoring connections for systems?

Also why don't we have a construction/maintenance forum?   Real estate investing isn't all about finance strategies, at some point you have to manage the product.

OK I just want to caution everybody here. If you get 5G in your house no one will want to live there because they will get coronavirus!
