Summary
Executives at telecommunications and technology firms predict that 6G, the next generation of mobile internet after 5G, will likely launch in 2030. However, they caution against creating too much hype and confusing consumers, and emphasize the need to focus on 5G deployment even as 6G research takes place. While there is still one step to come before 6G, called 5G advanced, which will become available in a couple of years' time, there is no clear idea of what 6G technology will look like as standards have not been set. Some executives predict that 6G will be rolled out in 2030, with the first 6G-enabled smartphone launching in 2029.
