The benefit is 5G Internet for 1000s of people in the area.
The fact no one mentions that in the article, is why I didn't think much of the article.
Similarly, I'd be happy to see the boxes moved to less obvious places (further onto the property, next to a fence?). But that isn't discussed either.
The whole article seems to hinge on "what about my house price". That's pure NIMBY as far as I can see.
Presumably the couple on question use mobile phones, plus electricity and water and other utilities all of which require boxes outside other peoples home...

Surely the difference of 5G over 4G is the benefit... which doesn't seem to be much.
