The logic in the article has a grain of truth, but it's presented in a fearmongering manner. O2 does interact with 60GHz - it stops it dead. The 60GHz spectrum really isn't of much use for OTA broadcast with our current technology. It's why there really isn't much above about 24GHz right now, and even that's squirrely.
It's like 3GHz and water. 3GHz will leak everywhere because that's what it does, but water stops it dead. (Fuck my former employer that thought 3GHz was a good IF frequency.)
That's how all these "5g" websites are. They wrap small pieces of truth with fear.
That basically describes a good portion of the Internet.
You're pretty smart for a stupidbird.

I just searched and searched, but couldn't find a video I seen about just what you mentioned. They were using frequencies in that range to make 3D shapes with water. Blasting from all sides they could create perfect cubes, pyramids, and even spheres with the water. Man I wish I could find it. Its an older video.
I've dealt very little with anything above about 32GHz for just that reason and the ones you mentioned - those frequencies are pretty useless except in very tight, focused beams. Simply blasting them into the air is just power wasted because you start getting stopped by air molecules.
The 3GHz thing is wild, I've never seen that video. It makes sense seeing as how it has almost no penetration past the surface of water. If you find it, I'd like to watch it.
