5G roadblock: labor

The 95th percentile on the connection I share among four houses and a farm has a 95th percentile under 10 megs.

Verizon has already proven in 5 cities that you can run fiber to the node and provide 1G fixed wireless service to both single and multi family homes. This reduces the fiber cost and the headache of dealing with landlords in MDU's. 

Also, keep in mind that 10 years ago, you didn't know you would want or need 25mbits to your phone, but I'd bet that now you'd have a hard time living without it.

We saw this with Femtocells. Why build the network when the end user will build it with their broadband connection? 

With 5G - if I need fiber to the pole already and the pole has to be within. Few hundred feet of the end user, why not just deploy fiber to the home? 
Do I really need a gigabit per second on my mobile device?
