I wonder how this relates to 5G which also pushes more storage and even compute to the edge.

Wouldn’t edge infra be more important for slower cellular connections?

5G has lots of latency compared to fiber or even good cable, if you want the same latency as someone on fiber to a regionally hosted server, you need edge compute stuff.
