[B and C]

Probably only going to work in major metropolitan areas as according to http://bgr.com/2018/02/21/5g-release-date-us-att-vs-verizon/ "The 5G that AT&T is rolling out this year will only use millimeter-wave spectrum, which means that it will function very differently to our current LTE cell networks. Millimeter-wave spectrum only works in nearby, mostly line-of-sight applications, which means you’ll have to be standing close to a 5G access point to get a signal."

Won't do anything for the boonies for a long time.

Yup, they also mention in the article, there currently aren't any 5G phones on the market. ATT believes compatible devices will begin to hit the market in early 2019 ...
