A global Gartner survey revealed that 75% of end-user organizations are willing to pay more for 5G mobile capabilities while only 24% of the survey's respondents said they would be unwilling to pay more for 5G than for 4G.
"Those in the telecom industry are more likely to be prepared to pay more than those in other industries," said research director at GartnerSylvain Fabre.
"Those in the telecom industry are more likely to be prepared to pay more than those in other industries," said research director at GartnerSylvain Fabre.
"End-user organisations in the manufacturing, services and government sectors, for example, are less likely to be willing to pay a premium for 5G than telecom companies, which are willing to pay a 5G premium for their internal use."
Although most of the respondents think their organizations would be prepared to pay more for 5G, very few expect 5G to deliver cost savings or increase revenues.
"They tend to see 5G migration as a matter of gradual and inevitable infrastructural change, rather than as an opportunity to generate new revenue," said Mr. Fabre.
Gartner's survey found that almost half the respondents intend to use 5G to access videos and fixed wireless capabilities. More interestingly, though, the majority respondents or 57% believe that their organization's main intention is to use 5G to drive Internet of Things (IoT) communication.
