Seeing as I live just on the outskirts of a capital city (Cardiff), and I can't even get 3G signal inside my house, and no more than 80/20 broadband; I'll remain skeptical about the possibility of success for this outside of very specific cities. There's also a lot to be said for reliability and the requirement to always have a fast connection: one of the benefits to many videogames is the fact that they are not online.

Isn't 5G on a wavelength that has poorer penetration than 4G? It might work in the USA but signal is a constant issue in stone housing here in the UK (though it may be better where you are based). I had to get a femtocell from EE in order to get signal in my house :\
