I have to agree with Jane that its not a  5G  issue but a connectivity issue  and that we 5G might not be the appropriate solution and we need a ways and means to select the  right technology solution given the local needs and financial constraints

Siva –

 

APC just did a great session on 5G.  I think the meet-up was recorded.

There rae a lot of issues related to 5G….

I think one thing that is key – we need to connect in a tech neutral way.  By focusing just on 5G, we divert attention away from immediate complimentary solutions – from 3G to 4G to Community Networks and the need for more IXPs.

 

I also am curious about the CAPEX/OPEX per kilometer based on population and average income related to 5G….

 

Best,
Jane

Subject: [DC3] Resources on the 5G hype

 

A certain participant of an Internet Society India Chennai Chapter special mailing list seeking pointers: 

 

 to learn more about 5G's potential implications for democracy and human rights. (Very broad... I know). I wonder if anyone on this list has any resources to share on architecture or deployment, for instance: 

- a good high level overview of technical/architectural elements, 

- further information about potential resource conflicts in relation to 4g/6g/fiber, etc., 

-  risks around proprietary software, etc. 

 

Links, key words, directions towards initiatives or organizations to look at — anything would be a huge help!

 

Bringing that question to this list to seek help in answering that question.

 

Thank you
