Verizon: Targeting consumer 5G monetisation through innovative pricing plans, FWA and digital entertainment

Our latest consumer survey shows that almost half of non-5G users plan to upgrade to 5G. However, the work remains cut out for operators in terms of capitalising on this positive consumer sentiment for successful 5G monetisation. More efforts across areas such as 5G network quality, 5G customer segmentation, tariff innovation and 5G partnerships are key to advancing consumer 5G adoption and monetisation. In this report we explore the above and further aspects of consumer 5G in depth, supplemented with three operator case studies on consumer 5G from around the globe.

This edition of GSMA Intelligence's Chart of the Month looks at how major operators' progress with revenues beyond traditional core telecoms.
