We all know 5G has huge potential. It not only drives data at high speeds but with significantly lower latency — enabling the possibility of new kinds of applications that were earlier not possible. But unfortunately, some of these applications (like remote surgery, etc) will take some time to evolve and grow, and therefore the operators will need some low-hanging ones immediately, which can enable them to generate additional revenues. These incremental revenues will motivate them to continue expanding 5G networks by making additional investments. And once the base is ready, then the business case of these futuristic 5G applications will also improve. Hence, it is imperative for all the stakeholders (regulators, technology providers, etc) to empower the operators such, that they can pluck these low-hanging fruits easily and with maximum efficiency. This article is about identifying these low-hanging fruits and the specific roles the regulators can play to motivate and empower the operators.
