As the 5G mobile network rollout gathers pace in Australia, one analyst is pointing to an unintended benefit for those who stick with their 4G phones.
David Kennedy has consulted to many of the Asia Pacific’s telecommunications networks, including Telstra, NBN and Optus, and said the rollout of 5G in South Korea provided an insight for Australia.
“One of the effects we saw in [South] Korea with 5G rolling out [was] that a lot of early adopters in the Korean market got 5G handsets very quickly,” he said.
