摘要

5G 经常被描述为一种变革性技术。通过其优于前几代移动技术的技术特性,5G 支持整个经济领域创新服务和产品的开发。因此,5G 的潜在影响经常被描述为巨大的,通常估计到本十年末,全球 GDP 将增加 1 万亿美元或更多。对于移动运营商来说,5G 提供了创造新收入来源的机会。这将增加他们的收入,从而提高他们的市值,近年来,随着价值向数字经济的其他部分转移,他们的市值有所下降。在本文中,我们认为移动运营商面临着一系列相互交织的挑战,这些挑战将影响他们利用 5G 创造新收入来源的能力。这些挑战反映了 5G 将在当今经济中发挥的多方面作用,5G 本身既是一种服务,又能提供其他服务。不仅用户可能不愿意为 5G 支付高昂的费用,而且随着 5G 在其他领域的应用,移动运营商的作用也会受到质疑。地方许可证对移动运营商的作用和需求提出了质疑,由于垂直行业的性质,移动运营商可能会发现很难为这些行业提供 5G 服务。

Creating value from 5G: The challenge for mobile operators

5G is often described as a transformational technology. Through its superior technical characteristics compared to previous generations of mobile technologies, 5G supports the development of innovative services and products across the whole economy. As a consequence, the potential impact of 5G is frequently described as being significant, with estimates of $1 trillion or more being added to global GDP by the end of the decade being common. For mobile operators, 5G provides an opportunity to generate new sources of revenue. This would boost their revenues, and thus their market capitalisations which have fallen in recent years as value has migrated to other parts of the digital economy. In this paper we argue that mobile operators face a number of inter-woven challenges that will shape their ability to utilise 5G to generate new sources of revenues. These reflect the multi-faceted role that 5G will play in today's economy, where it is both a service in its own right but also one that enables the delivery of other services. Not only may users be unwilling to pay a premium for 5G, but as it is used in other sectors the role of mobile operators is thrown into doubt. Local licences question the role of and need for mobile operators, who may find providing 5G-enabled services to vertical industries difficult due to the nature of these sectors.
