How much? Can operators really afford it? The 5G promise will be around significantly improved performances ATAWAD, including very high data rates but not only. 5G will be about offering a wide range of new applications, types of devices suggesting that business models and offers should evolve and address vertical sectors 5G needs spectrum within three key frequency ranges (sub-1GHz, <6 GHz, >6 GHz) How to deliver UHB outside hotspots’ reach? Increased spectrum complexity may be another cloud in the picture…and reinforce MNOs’ cautious attitude on 5G business models
