The race and hype is driven by vendors who need to sell more, most operators will continue building capacity on 4G thru 4G LTE Adv Pro etc for next 5 years as that can deliver up to 2Gbps with 5 carrier aggregation.
Its is likely that consumers will not need nor ask for 5G day one, but that industry could step up and provide not only 5G revenues to carriers but also decent margins to help offset the investments required.
The next anomaly is the belief that 5G will fix coverage issues, as if overnight the rollout of 5G is nationwide immediately and all current problems are fixed. The cost of that scale of RAN rollout is not achievable.
