New Telco Demand For No 6G Hardware Refresh Will Rattle Vendors
LightReading, Thursday, September 28,2023
A paper from the NGMN shows that network operators are growing tired of the Gs and the expense they entail.
Howard Watson, the most senior technology executive at the UK's BT, once developed the thousand-yard stare of men who have fought bloody wars when asked if 6G would trigger another big equipment upgrade. "We are not doing that again," he said in apparent horror at this year's Mobile World Congress (MWC). It now seems that other telcos are not up for doing it again either.
