Laying the groundwork for new mobile infrastructure is extremely complex, expensive and debatable, as seen with the 'not so efficient' rollout of the 4G network. Also calls from mobile phones are transmitted through a station tower, but if numerous users in a single location call at the same time, the connection speed diminishes.
