Every tree leaf, church steeple and squirrel's tail will block the signal too.

I have a hard time believing mobility can use these frequencies beyond 25 feet.

Subject: [AFMUG] Next-gen cellular networks could use spectrum all the way up to 71GHz

Can't see how they'll get this to work without raising the power significantly which will only get all the environmental,cell phone egg frying, popcorn popping nutjobs to boycott it. Of course I wouldn't want to live in an apartment building broadcasting at those powers either.. I'd have a nice suntan.

4G (fourth generation cellular technology) LTE in the US relies on frequencies from 700MHz to 2.5GHz, with the lower frequencies being best suited for covering long distances and penetrating building walls. The FCC's vote today proposes new "flexible use service rules in the 28GHz, 37GHz, 39GHz, and 64-71GHz bands," and seeks public comment on other bands above 24GHz that could also be used.
