Yes, but what hype. It's still a short RF range 5G network. Who cares how high 
it is? They installed several sticks, separated by a few hundred meters, and 
got predictably unimpressive bit rates, way up the mountain. Because of the 
relatively wide spacing of the towers, barely more bps than 4G can offer, when 
using macrocells. But okay, good advertising, I guess.
