UK govt wants standalone 5G by 2030 but won't shell out to help hit target
The UK government's updated telecoms strategy wants standalone 5G coverage for all populated areas by 2030, blue-sky funding for 6G research, grants for satellite connections in remote areas, and faster rollout of high-speed broadband.
Many of the benefits that were promised for 5G networks, such as ultra-low latency and much greater network capacity, can only be realized with standalone 5G, so it appears that the UK government wants to push operators into delivering it. The department hinted that it was open to further market consolidation, saying that there is no"magic number" of mobile operators, and it seems to be relying on competition to drive the necessary investment.
Media and telco analyst Paolo Pescatore of PP Foresight said that achieving the standalone 5G target will be challenging for some operators. CCS Insight analyst Kester Mann said it was good to see the UK government implement challenging targets for standalone 5G coverage.
