First off, it's nice to finally see someone other than myself pointing out that 5G doesn't exist.

You can blame ALL of this on one specific, unethical model.
Hyperspeed computerized trading.
The market sharks run millions of trades a minute, sight unseen by computers based not on how "good" a stock is, but by miniscule fractions of a point fluctuations.
"5G" as proposed is never going to happen. By making sure it's so cumbersome and impossible to implement, the "providers" ensure that their actual costs are so minimal over so long a time (ever try to get a permit for a cell tower?) that hypertrading won't be "harmed".
The same for fiber deployment.
I'm in NY. I can't really disagree with how deployment is done, as it's a damned good business model. By servicing JUST NYC with fiber, I've now got millions of subscribers with a minimal outlay in labor and materials.
If I go outside of a dense population center like a city, I've now got to string hundreds of miles of fiber and maintain it.
That's one of the reasons copper telephone deployment was federally controlled. And it's THE driving reason companies like Verizon are letting copper rot on the poles.
The "fix"? Dig up the "rural deployment" laws from the dim past concerning electrical and telephone service and apply them to fiber/cable.
The bodycam sends directly to the third party cloud, and retrieval has to be paid for.
In your scenario, they'd be pulling the memory chip from the cams at the end of each shift, sealing them in evidence bags, and couriering them to the "storage facility".
I've got 32TB of storage on the system I'm using to type this. At 480p, that's hundreds of thousands of hours of video.
And it cost me about half of the yearly fee the SFPD is paying.
On a home system. There's absolutely no reason for the police to be using a third party "storage" company for bodycam footage.
Exactly. And to come out and admit that "his" FCC no longer has the authority to do even this would convince the last six people in the US who don't believe he's bought and paid for.

I've never had a tenant file a valid complaint about myself, my buildings, or the services I provide.
What I HAVE seen is incredible abuse from tenants.
Surprisingly, do you know who you should never rent to?
No, not welfare.
Doctors and lawyers. They seem to feel they don't need to pay rent. Excuses from the doctors, and claims from the lawyers that XYZ in their lease hasn't been met (it has), so they're reducing their rent requirements.
The look on the face of some self-described hotshot lawyer when I evict them in only eleven days start to finish is almost worth the lost rent...
Use Google Voice. Routes to any phones you want, accepts texts, does text to voice, voice to text, emails you your missed calls, and that's just the features I use. There's a pile more.
That's the ONLY number I give out. Only a few friends and relatives have my direct number - the google number defaults to voice mail, effectively white listing.

It's worse. There's 9 months left on the contract.
If they're paying quarterly, that's only $3,000 to run it out.
They spend more than that yearly on floor wax.

It's also used for 800 series number billings.

20 years?
MA BELL instituted ANI - Automatic Number Identification.
The cops use it - that's why they say "and we don't have caller ID" in their snitch adverts.
There's simply ZERO reason for an in-house PBX anymore, now that everything is digital and WILL hit VOIP at some point in the connection.
Simply post the ANI to the CID and let phone company handle multi-line switching.

Amazing, isn't it? Not just what's pulled from paychecks, but every utility, service, and purchase is taxed.
When you add them up for the year and divide by the number of paychecks you get in a year, it's staggering.

Not any of my apartments. Vertical bolts aren't all that expensive and are simple to install.
Like I said, reasonable precautions.
And, before some AC jumps me on them, YES, they do add to the value, therefor I can charge higher rents - because of the sense of higher security.
