“…In this way, the difference between what is intended and what is achieved will be revealed, and more realistic goals can be determined. Some studies already state that 5G-related strategies should be re-evaluated considering current developments [48]. A scheme to promote the development of Germany to become a lead market for 5G networks and applications.…”

“…Mostly, commitment and the robust and consistent role of the Korean government unite the ecosystem, encourage doing business together (companies, institutes, MNOs, academia, etc. ), and support R&D [44,[46][47][48]. The articles examining China's 5G policies are more about the importance of user-oriented [49] and mission-oriented [50] strategies and the impact of policies, especially on operators' firm value [38].…”

“…The articles examining China's 5G policies are more about the importance of user-oriented [49] and mission-oriented [50] strategies and the impact of policies, especially on operators' firm value [38]. The European Union's 5G policy reviews generally argue context [51], leadership vs. non-proactive roles of the EU [4,48], and 5G-related innovation policies [52]. In addition to examining country-based 5G policies in the literature, multiple national strategies are also examined, albeit to a limited extent.…”

Digital transformation is taking place across all levels of governance, from small businesses to governments. If the seed of digital transformation is data, then reliable connectivity is the nourishing soil that data need to prosper. With digital transformation, billions of connections require more broadband. In response to this need, some countries are preparing national 5G strategies, as 5G technology has been identified as a significant driver of the digital economy. In this study, 16 national 5G strategies have been systematically and comprehensively analyzed, and a checklist has been developed to formulate national 5G strategies and policies. The checklist can be used by policymakers, especially in developing countries, to guide the preparation of national 5G strategies and policies. Of course, each country’s national strategy will differ regarding resources, culture, etc. It is hoped that this checklist may speed up the preparation process by providing a baseline during the strategy formulation phase and make the process more efficient by incorporating lessons learned, especially for developing countries.

“…Unequal access to 5G, particularly in rural areas, can exacerbate the digital divide, limiting opportunities for education, economic advancement and inclusion while delaying overall digital development (Noll et al, 2018). Similarly, the challenges faced by businesses in innovating under the 5G framework can lead to missed opportunities for businesses and public services, hindering job creation and economic growth, and impeding broader implications of 5G for society (Blind and Niebel, 2022;Parcu et al, 2023).…”

This report builds on the findings of the Nordic-Baltic 5G Monitoring Tool (N-B 5G MT) project ‘Analytical Report’, which focused on mapping 5G activities in the Nordic-Baltic region and analysing their roll-out status. In this follow-up report, we delve deeper into actual 5G applications across different verticals (i.e. sectors), including healthcare, transportation/mobility, industry and media/broadcasting. The report identifies challenges in each sector, such as funding constraints in healthcare, technical hurdles in transportation, market immaturity in industry, and infrastructure investment needs in media, highlighting the complex landscape of 5G deployment. Key cross-cutting challenges include uncertain business cases due to lack of clear benefits and empirical validation, financial barriers from high deployment costs and insufficient early-stage funding, technical and infrastructural limitations, especially in rural areas, regulatory constraints including spectrum allocation and data privacy, security and privacy concerns necessitating a comprehensive approach for compliance, acceptability and usability issues that require simplifying 5G for broader adoption, and collaboration challenges highlighting the need for forums, dialogue sessions, and partnerships to facilitate idea exchange and project advancements. Overall, the report emphasizes the need for a systemic approach to addressing these challenges. This includes clarifying the business value of 5G; fostering ecosystems for collaboration; and ensuring that policy and regulatory frameworks support the innovative, equitable deployment of 5G technology. Overcoming these hurdles will require concerted efforts from all stakeholders, including governments, industry and the wider community. Only then will the transformative potential of 5G for society be fully realized.
