Why not just setup 5G/6G towers and provide service like that?

Why rip roads up for miles?

Wouldn't that be more cost effective?

There’s a limited amount of RF spectrum between the customer and the tower, and 5G has lower coverage than slower tech (3g, etc) due to the higher frequency, so they need a lot more towers (10x-ish). It’s not very cost effective outside of high density urban areas.
