5G’s false dawn – who’s really rolling out the next technology?
- Friday | 21st September, 2018
For me, 5G’s false dawn began in May, when Qatar and the UAE faced off over who had been the first country to launch 5G (spoiler alert – neither of them had). In the meantime, spurious claims to be the world’s first 5G connected nation do little but make the claimant appear foolish. Just two days later, spurred on by the rhetoric of its regional rivals, Saudi Arabia also laid claim to the title of World’s First 5G Launch. The fact remains that there are currently no handsets on the market that are capable of accessing 5G networks, so the claims to be first 5G connected nation are largely irrelevant. With every passing week, the clamour of noise in the 5G echo-chamber seems to ratchet up another couple of decibels.
