5G and economic growth: an assessment of GDP impacts in Canada
This insight is open to all subscribers and registered users, or available by completing the form.
The mobile industry has begun the journey to upgrade its infrastructure and services to 5G, the next generation of digital technologies. 5G networks will deliver between 10 and 100× faster data rates, at signal response times up to 10× smaller, compared to 4G networks. These capabilities will in turn enable a range of other technologies (such as big data and cloud services) that will realise new and transformative applications and use cases.
Canada is now entering the 5G era, even if the Covid-19 pandemic will slow adoption rates in the short term. In this report, we evaluate Canada’s readiness for 5G, assess the expected macroeconomic impacts from the introduction of the technology, and identify key barriers for the rollout of 5G in Canada to reach its full potential and drive future economic growth.

Net neutrality in Latin America: learnings from global experiences in mobile markets
Different approaches to net neutrality regulation serve as a natural experiment, allowing us to empirically assess real-world impacts. We find no evidence of net neutrality regulations increasing internet content diversity or consumer welfare. The lack of clear evidence on the benefits of regulation combined with unintended negative impacts on operators call for a re-evaluation of existing net neutrality regulations.
