5G painpoints for spectrum management: band-aid required?

Although 5G adoption is proceeding well, 5G monetisation, especially in the B2C segment, remains an area of concern for operators. This report examines the findings from the GSMA Intelligence annual consumer survey, including shifting 5G user behaviour and the trends that will shape 5G monetisation.

This quarterly series leverages GSMA Intelligence data on network sunsets to identify the key trends and understand the future. The report outlines the latest developments in network sunsets. The data provided here covers network sunsets by year, technology and region. The report also spotlights the momentum in 2G/3G network sunsets in the context of total active 2G/3G networks globally.

The perennial challenge for operators is being able to sell to consumers and businesses based on more than just speeds and latencies, which are eventually competed away. This analysis looks at a selection of 5G revenue models used by operators in the consumer and enterprise domains. What has worked? What hasn’t? Each model is compared according to a common template to give a view of the business impact.
