The part of the article I found interesting and a bit troubling was this paragraph, which means that the telecom will try to claim rights to put lots of antennas up where they become a nuisance or intruding to residences. Not all neighborhoods have utility poles around, especially in dense urban areas, or modern suburbs with underground utilities. It's will no longer be that fake tree or a bunch on a high voltage transmission tower or building. The range of 5G transceivers is considerably less than current frequency utilized making them more akin to overlapping wifi access areas.

I can see cities granting them access to the boulevard between the sidewalk and the street or installing them on light posts on each street. Don't forget, many utilities have access rights on the back lot line between your house and the house behind you. The cable companies could really jump on this. They already have their cable junction boxes in every neighborhood. Put a small tower in its place since they have rights to that spot.
