A report by Boston Consulting Group titled "Building the US 5G Economy" gives a fresh perspective on next-generation wireless network deployment and the most critical focus areas for policymaking to ensure that our nation thrives. The report was released on September 13. A primary factor for future US 5G success that the report identifies is:
Spectrum Availability. A transparent, market-based auction schedule for 5G spectrum, with an emphasis on cleared, licensed midband airwaves, will allow spectrum to be made available to service providers as soon as possible.
Additionally, the report identifies streamlined permit processes to speed wireless infrastructure build-out as well as subsidies targeted to 5G network expansion in rural areas. The report is available at CTIA's website.
