European governments appear to be moving ahead with efforts to consolidate a successful future for 5G, identifying its risks and proposing alternatives to boost performance.
The Future Telecoms Infrastructure Review, for example, published in July, lays out the UK's policy objectives on broadband and mobile investment with one eye firmly on the next generation of networks.
It acknowledges "there is a role for policy and spectrum management" in securing the positive benefits of 5G. With this in mind, it suggests that a number of actions should be prioritised:
- Making it easier and cheaper to deploy mobile infrastructure, including the implementation of the Electronic Communications Code (ECC), facilitating on-site access and consideration of further planning reforms
- Supporting infrastructure models that promote competition and investment in network densification and extension
- Stimulating demand and new use cases through the 5G testbeds and trials programme
- Securing a diverse set of innovative 5G services through spectrum policy
