One question about new 5G revenue sources is whether 5G-based fixed wireless will allow some mobile service providers to take market share from fixed network suppliers. A recent consumer survey by Ericsson suggests there is potential for that happening, even if fixed network suppliers downplay the possibility.
Stated demand for a package of ultra-high-definition TV service (5G TV) bundled with 5G home wireless broadband is most sought after by 74 percent of users in our survey globally.
A similar proportion of smartphone users globally are interested in a 5G hot zone service that offers ultra-high speeds and reliability in demanding locations like airports, shopping streets and office spaces, Ericsson suggests.
As almost always is the case, consumers complain about “high prices” for fixed network internet access. That is the sort of dissatisfaction that some mobile operators believe they can address with fixed wireless alternatives.
