Welcome to the last week of 2020! A lot has happened this year, both the good and the challenges. Let’s take a look at the 2020 Telecommunications Industry Roundup. This year, almost half of the world’s population are using mobile internet. This helps with connectivity during difficult times, to ensure everyone stays informed with the latest update on the pandemic. Early in 2020, 5G deployments were halted due to the pandemic. But coming into the second half of the year, deployments restarted and, approaching the end of 2020, 5G is available from more than 178 mobile operators in over 80 countries. During the year of the lockdown, consumer behaviour has shifted as well. Data traffic surges were reported from mobile operators across the world as individuals staying at home sought new ways of living and consuming entertainment.
