Is your business anticipating the arrival of 5G? Why or why not?


Any discussion of 5G is likely relevant and appreciated. If it answers one of the following questions: even better.

I'm primarily interested in 5G's effects on business, less so on how it will be embraced by consumers.

[1st Order Impact]

Are you or your business anticipating the rollout of 5G?

Does your sector/industry already anticipate clear use-cases for 5G networks? If yes, do you expect 5G technologies to impact your process, or instead is 5G a component of your product itself?

Does 5G and its related technologies represent more of an iterative improvement of current systems and processes, or will it solve new problems that previously didn't have viable solutions?

[2nd+ Order Impact]

Does 5G have the potential to impact you or your business upon further maturity?

[If the above answer is "yes"] what is the blocker/missing technology that won't be there on rollout?

If those blockers were removed: does 5G and its related technologies represent more of an iterative improvement of current systems and processes, or does it solve new problems that previously didn't have viable solutions.

[Misc.]

Are you expecting to have to differentiate between 5G providers due to differing capabilities?

Do you think 5G is overhyped?

Do you think 5G is overhyped, but useful nonetheless?

What common processes (i.e. business activities shared by many different firms) will be most affected?

Does building bloated sites and apps count as "anticipating the arrival of 5G"?

No. It won't serve my area. The only idea more preposterous than "5G causes Coronavirus" is that "5G will have benefits for consumers".
