Wouldn’t it just be easier to provide free 5G at this point?

In France, internet providers used to allow by default the modem/router (we call that an “internet box”) they provide you to open a second WiFi network available to everybody that was a customer with just login/password to connect.
That meant that in citys, there was a kind of super network, made of hundred of thousands/millions modem/router broadcasting from apparrments, that provided WiFi to almost everywhere in streets, shops, etc.
I don’t really know why they all abandon this project, I imagine a lot of things could have caused this beginning by cybersecurity requirements, free riders, obsolescence because of mass adoption of smartphones with 4G/5G and costs.

I’d prefer free public toilets.
