| NOTAS: | "In many ways, it is still too early to think about 5G in Europe. Nonetheless, operators are beginning to make noises about testing and launching it. This report summarizes their plans. It also assesses how different expectations about specifications are leading to a debate over 5G standards. From a technology deployment standpoint, 5G is far from the most important concern for operators in Europe right now, nor is it their biggest opportunity. There are key LTE upgrades just around the corner that they should focus on more than on when they launch 5G, not least because these developments are stepping-stones to 5G." |
