The promise of 5G has captured the attention of business leaders, policy makers, and the media. But how much of that promise is likely to be realized anytime soon?
With the first true high-band 5G networks already live, we set out to take a realistic view of how and where connectivity could be deployed and what it can enable over the next 10 years. But 5G is not appearing in isolation. This research takes a more expansive view of connectivity to include other technologies, ranging from fiber and satellites to Wi-Fi and short-range technologies.
Despite the hype about remote surgery and Star Trek–style holodecks in everyone’s living rooms, the future is not solely happening on the frontier. Existing connectivity technologies are expanding and evolving, with new standards that boost network performance—and they are much less capital-intensive. We have identified an enormous array of use cases that can run on this type of upgraded backbone. Companies do not have to wait for high-band 5G to implement new systems and go after the resulting productivity gains.
To illustrate what is possible, this research looks at how connectivity could be deployed in mobility, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail. The use cases we identified in these four commercial domains alone could boost global GDP by $1.2 trillion to $2 trillion by 2030. This implies that the value at stake will ultimately run trillions of dollars higher across the entire global economy.

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland is a globally networked, multitechnological applied research organization with expertise in business and technology. It creates new innovations through partnerships. The document discusses VTT's research focus areas and global operations. It then covers strategies for ICT and innovation systems in emerging economies, including challenges like developing distinct regional models and integrating into the global ICT ecosystem. The impacts of ICT on development are also examined, such as through improved access to information, productivity, and risk reduction.
The document discusses Thailand's efforts to develop its e-government capabilities and information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure. It provides an overview of Thailand's ICT status and rankings on global indicators. It then outlines Thailand's ICT Master Plan 2009-2013, which aims to make Thailand a "Smart Thailand" with high levels of ICT use and literacy across society. The plan establishes targets and a development strategy focused on strengthening the economy, society, and environment through expanded ICT use. It emphasizes leadership, governance, infrastructure development, industry capacity building, and human resource development as key success factors. Finally, the document examines Thailand's e-government development, noting the importance of political will, legal frameworks, and civil servant training
Global Forum 2012 Presentation: Luis Rodriguez-Rosello, DG CONNECTGlobalForum
The document summarizes the EU's R&D perspective on ubiquitous networks and services as an innovation platform. It discusses how Horizon 2020 aims to meet challenges in digital agenda, innovation union, and European research area. Key trends driving EU R&I are the data explosion, need for service platforms, ubiquitous access and mobility, sustainability, flexibility, objects connectivity, and security. The overriding objective is democratizing networks to create a seamless space for information, knowledge, and communication to address societal challenges and enable growth.
The document summarizes a meeting on future internet forum held in Dublin, Ireland on December 3, 2009. It discusses ongoing research in areas like security in network and service architectures. It recommends priority areas for trustworthy ICT like securing networks and infrastructures, managing identity and privacy, and enabling technologies. The document also proposes international cooperation actions between the EU and countries like the US, Japan, and others on topics related to dependability, security and trust.
The document discusses how information and communication technologies (ICT) can support national development goals through ICT services and e-citizen solutions. It outlines the ICT environment and challenges of ICT services design. Key points discussed include how ICT can impact socioeconomic development, the Philippines' development agenda that ICT aims to support, and ICT decision imperatives around principles, architecture, infrastructure, applications, investment, and governance. Examples of e-citizen solutions presented are e-government, e-commerce, and social networks.

The document provides an overview of ICT policy implementation and telecenter status in Malawi. It discusses the country's legal and regulatory frameworks for ICT, performance of the ICT sector including subscriber growth and contribution to GDP, models of telecenters established in the country with different funding mechanisms, challenges facing telecenter development and expansion, and future plans to connect more constituencies through new telecenter projects.
This presentation compares the activities of Future Internet Socio Economics and Future Internet Enterprise Systems. Although there are similarities in terms of discussions about neutrality, regulation and rights the drivers are significantly different between consumers (largely focus of FISE) and industry (largely focus on FInES)
The document discusses the European Union's Digital Agenda and focuses on cloud computing and green ICT. It defines cloud computing, outlines the main challenges around interoperability, privacy, security and governance. It discusses the EU cloud strategy of developing the legal framework, research and standardization. Funding opportunities for cloud computing through the CIP Work Programme are also mentioned. The document argues that cloud computing can significantly reduce carbon emissions and help make ICT more environmentally friendly.
This document discusses the European Union's Digital Agenda, which aims to promote an open and competitive digital economy in Europe. It outlines several major initiatives of the Digital Agenda, including enhancing broadband access, developing a digital single market, boosting innovation through research funding, and ensuring digital inclusion. The document also discusses using information and communication technologies to address issues like an aging population in Europe and improving public services.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Wilfried Grommen of HP about how information and communication technologies (ICT) can help countries achieve a "golden age." Some key points include:
- ICT innovation is driving economic growth and is embedded in many innovative processes.
- Cloud computing, mobility, social media, and big data are examples of technologies fueling innovation.
- For countries, ICT can increase competitiveness if adopted widely in areas like education, infrastructure, and regulations.
- The EU has a "Digital Agenda" to maximize ICT's economic benefits and address barriers to technology adoption.
- Moldova is encouraged to view ICT as an "enabler" of productivity and
The telecom industry faces significant challenges including decreasing revenues and EBITDA. CEO strategies show similarities around data monetization, partnerships, and vertical expansion. However, operators are constrained by their ability to invest and monetize networks. This has led to a fragmented value chain and the need to rethink business models through options like diversification, changing business models, cost cutting, consolidation, or shareholders stepping down. The online media industry winners have leveraged search, social networks, hardware/software integration, while losers faced challenges in business models and product dependence.
The document summarizes the ICT Policy Support Programme Workprogramme for 2012 (Call 6) and FP7 ICT Work Programme 2011-12 (Call 9). It provides details on 5 themes and 19 objectives that are covered in the call, with a total indicative budget of 127 million Euros. The themes include ICT for smart cities, digital content and creativity, health and inclusion, innovative government, and trusted eServices. The objectives focus on areas like smart urban services, eHealth, eGovernment, cybersecurity, and mobile cloud applications.
