Sounds logical that's less "wear" for the battery (and for you it shows), but is this generally recommended? Or maybe once in a while using the battery?

From the article: "If you're doing this, you're not letting the battery deplete, you are off-and-on recharging it a tiny, tiny bit at a time. It's been a long time since we had NiCad batteries where this would degrade them over time -- and this behavior in this day and age won't harm the battery to any appreciable level."

If Canada with its 10-month approval wait is considered "expanding beyond the US," the rest of the world has a LONG way to go!

Personally, the only reason I'd want 5G is if the radios worked better over a longer range and through objects, as well as using less overall power by being able to grab data and then power down more quickly, but none of that seems to be the case.

Are you sure?  Everything I've read about 5G says the exact opposite.  5G depends on high frequency waves.  The higher the frequency, the shorter the wave and the more issues it has with obstructions like walls and trees.  It's one of the reasons more 5G cells have to be dispersed in a given environment.  Afaik, 5G radios do not work over long distances at all.  I'd love any info that says differently.
