Spectrum questions aside (which obviously one of the biggest one), could this enable running Helium 5G on AWS?

-- Edit: I don't own any Helium, just curious from tech side what this new AWS service could offer. Not sure the downvotes are particularly about Helium or any crypto related discussion.

Probably not if the Helium 5G offering is similar to their LoRaWan stuff.

Due to some security issues with the Helium LoRaWAN proof-of-coverage, only authorized hotspots/access points are allowed to participate. Helium manages this by issuing keys or certificates (IDK which it is) via the Decentralized Wireless Alliance[0].

I think it's highly unlikely Amazon would deploy Helium enabled 5G radios.

Why do peole care about helium so much?

[paxys]

People care about the value of their magic tokens and are spamming them in every online discussion in an effort to bring in more bag holders.

Agree. "awareness" drives people to own their token which will make them money.

Or because it solves an incentive problem which has kept millions of people with sub par networks to choose from.
