The market is actually working perfectly.

Supply goes to those willing to pay the highest price (because they can use them at a high productivity).

RAN has a long lead time, so supply isn’t created overnight. That’s not a “market problem” that a physics problem.

It’s not a “market failure” because some customer can buy it at the price they want. Those customers always exist (people who wouldn’t buy 2 years ago unless it was cheaper)
