Building 6G Business Models: Worries And Opportunities
RCRWirelessNews, Monday, September 23rd, 2024
With 6G already looming on the horizon as a technical challenge, there is also the pressing issue that in terms of new revenues, 5G has, by and large, not yet delivered. So what might 6G business models even look like, when the industry isn't satisfied with what it has reaped from 5G?
At 6G Symposium in Washington, D.C. this week, several of the discussions resolved around what 6G business models, profitability, services and uses for those future networks might look like.
During a panel discussion, Chris Christou, SVP at Booz Allen, said that simplifying the transition to 6G and getting to upgradable networks should be part of the approach-a 6G system that is upgradable, and perhaps re-uses some of what has been done in 5G in terms of the network core, plus integrating new tech as needed in the RAN.
