5G: Quantifying Disruption

July 03, 2019

Pop Quiz: How much value did the 4G cycle create in the last 10 years?  a) $100 billion b) $1 trillion c) $10 trillion d) > $10 trillion

Answer coming up in the next missive.

A more interesting question might be – who captured this value and why? We have been looking deep into the numbers to understand disruption. There was a very unique “Synchronous S-Curve Effect” that shaped the last 10 years. What will the equation look like for 5G? Can we quantify disruption? What will be the monetization story for the 5G cycle? We will present new research at Mobile Future Forward to illustrate some novel approaches to understand the market.

We believe that Connected Intelligence is going to transform the next 10 years and while there are many components to the evolutionary story, 5G will play a critical role in defining Connected Intelligence 2030. We will take a unique data-centric view of 5G evolution in the context of Connected Intelligence. It will be the most compelling 5G discussion you will hear all year long. At Mobile Future Forward this year, we will share new research that quantifies disruption for the next decade, hence the theme Connected Intelligence 2030.
