<div>Reality is the opposite of what you propose.</div>
<div>Higher speed wireless = more bandwidth available for a given slot of time on the air. An increase in bandwidth means that a given user will use a proportionately smaller amount of RF air time to consume the same amount of data = more free air time and
more users and a higher peak throughput for the network.</div>

More bandwidth means more spectrum required to achieve the desired</div>
<div>bitrate, which means we carve our spectrum up into larger chunks, which</div>
<div>means we need the same amount of it for the same number of Mbps </div>
<div>regardless of how much "RF air time" (yeesh) we use.</div>
