I first noticed this earlier this year around the time that news from Mobile World Congress was dominating the technology media. Amongst the inevitable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tatacommunications.com\/blog\/2015\/09\/connecting-the-virtual-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">virtual reality<\/a> headsets and superfast new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tatacommunications.com\/blog\/2015\/10\/winners-view-a-mobile-first-approach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mobile handsets,<\/a> \u00a0I observed the sheer number of model cities and sports stadiums that littered the show\u2019s exhibition floors in the images from the show floor that I saw.<\/p>\n<p>Since then I\u2019ve seen 1:32\u201d scale model cities wherever the telecoms industry gathers. The function they serve is to show how 5G is going to change the world. How it will make transport easier, allow street lights to communicate and enable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tatacommunications.com\/blog\/2016\/04\/live-sports-from-stadium-to-smartphone-without-losing-a-second\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sports fans<\/a> to get instant, multi-angle replays to their smartphone from the stands as the game plays out.<\/p>\n<p>Truly, the telecoms industry is excited about getting 5G into the hands of customers and all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tatacommunications.com\/blog\/2015\/12\/service-at-the-heart-of-the-best-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the new services <\/a>they\u2019ll buy once they\u2019ve been liberated from the limited speed and bandwidth of 4G. In Europe and the USA, operator strategies that are not built around bringing the holy grail of 5G connectivity to consumers are rare.<\/p>\n<p>It strikes me, however, that we\u2019re all making quite a bold assumption that consumers are going to take up 5G services the moment we achieve it. Will they actually do that? Probably not.<\/p>\n<p>Our greatest guide to public reaction to 5G is, of course, the 4G roll out. 4G adoption was spurred by apps appearing on consumers phones and the world of new functions those apps introduced. The problem was that the apps kept becoming more and more sophisticated \u2013 graphically and functionally \u2013 and 3G connections couldn\u2019t keep up. For consumers that created an easy choice \u2013 give up apps or upgrade to 4G. They chose 4G but then the financial jump was relatively modest.<\/p>\n<p>Just like 4G, 5G will spur the introduction of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tatacommunications.com\/blog\/2016\/04\/a-cloud-for-every-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">new apps <\/a>and exciting new functionality. Just like 4G, however, any new app or service\u2019s magic will depend the connectivity behind it \u2013 so consumers will need jump to 5G to enjoy. Simple right? Not so much. The economics of providing 5G connectivity will make it difficult for providers to drive costs low enough to make moving to 5G more tempting than simply not adopting the latest app. Without mass adoption of 5G for big apps, we won\u2019t see mass adoption of 5G.<\/p>\n<p>Operators are already investing heavily to realise 5G and across the world governments are now beginning to auction the spectrum needed to deliver 5G services. That\u2019s where the spending really starts. In many countries, spectrum space is highly stratified for different functions from radio broadcasts to emergency service and military communications. Certain services, particularly television, take up huge chunks of space limiting that available for the late coming mobile spectrum. The elimination of analogue television signal in favour of digital in many countries has freed up some spectrum but it remains limited and therefore valuable, particularly when sold by governments at auction.<\/p>\n<p>If operators are spending huge amounts of money just for the spectrum space to provide 5G connectivity (far more space hungry than 4G), they will have to pass the cost on to the consumer or have margins deteriorate. Increasingly price sensitive consumers won\u2019t stand for price rises and will instead stick with 4G. Instead, consumers will change their behaviours, picking and choosing which apps are stationary and which are mobile. Data hungry apps created for a 5G world (VR, AI, HD streaming) will be used when they are stationary and consequently able to use WiFi to take the data load, and the load off their pocket. Less<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tatacommunications.com\/blog\/2016\/02\/transforming-roaming-with-big-data\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> data hungry <\/a>apps will remain mobile.<\/p>\n<p>5G will enable some great new services.\u00a0 But I don\u2019t believe the 5G roll out and adoption will be anywhere near as fast as the speed and bandwidth 5G promises to provide!<\/p>\n<p><em>How do you see 5G reaching the mainstream?
