Nothing new here at all.

Even 4G is only two advantages over 3G
Native IP (disadvantage for voice!)
Same performance roughly for 1 user only using a sector, x2 performance if 10 simultaneous users (but then it's poor anyway).
So called 5G only adds deployment flexibility. It adds no overall performance at light loading and can't deliver Broadband.

There is no magic bullet to make Mobile be Broadband. Economics. You'd need every 3rd street-light to be a mast. That is more expensive x20 or more than Fibre to the home or business.
