IFxls greatly increase a clients’ ability to both understand a particular market and to integrate their own views into the model.

• We forecasts that the US and South Korea will be the fastest adopters of 5G, with 75% of all 5G subscribers attributable to these two countries by the end of 2020. Aggressive pricing strategies and extensive device support have enticed over 5 million subscribers to 5G networks globally in 2019.
• Pricing strategies from operators in the US and South Korea have aimed to rapidly migrate users to 5G networks by offering low cost connectivity. However, this strategy will prolong operators’ primary goal of securing a return on their substantial 5G investment.
• Conversely, operators in other regions, such as Europe, have focused on maximising early 5G revenue by applying premium pricing over 4G subscriptions. Operators in these regions must expand geographical 5G coverage via basestation rollouts in order to maximise the value proposition of 5G and justify the premium pricing.
• Additionally, the significant number of 5G-supporting devices will further increase the immediate adoption of 5G connectivity. Early launches of FWA routers will provide operators with an immediate platform to launch broadband services that leverage 5G networks as a last mile solution.
