A Review: 5G Unleashed Pioneering Leadership, Global Deployment, and Future International Policies

In light of the evolving landscape of 5G development and deployment in Europe, this paper underscores the imperative for strategically reassessing policies that wield influence over these technological advancements. Acknowledging the crucial role these policies play in shaping the future impact of 5G and the subsequent emergence of 6G on the digital economy, the discussion explores the present state of 5G deployment. Informed by insights from discussions on achieving 5G technological leadership, the paper advocates for a more efficacious and forward-looking policy framework from the European Union. A central proposition posited here is the necessity for formulating an industrial policy that counteracts the fragmentation within the telecommunications sector. Emphasizing a holistic approach, the recommendation extends beyond individual member states to encompass the entirety of the European Union as the operative scale for concerted action. This shift in perspective seeks to foster cohesion and synergy, ensuring a more unified and impactful trajectory for developing and deploying advanced telecommunications technologies across the region.
