Quite effectively.

Right now, if you want to build "your" internet, you must be clear that your connection starts with that cable in the ground - or your device connecting to someone else's antenna. And those who own these entry points, own your virtual existence.

Now, given that "5G" is merely a glorified wi-fi router optimized for triangulation... can you imagine having a network of your own ones? Bought somewhere on a, say, specialized flee market? Plugged into existing IP traffic and causing havoc, or operating in parallel over a supported transport protocol?

There used to be a primitive thing called Fidonet back in 1980's-90's, working over the telephone network. They were an overlay, still not owning the physical infrastructure...

5G makes that infrastructure, quite literally, yours.

All it knows is location, and that can be - and better would be, when necessary - spoofed... always! ;-)

I honestly love how the capacity of new technologies allows for a ingenuous next level of screwing them up in a way impossible back in a day.
