5G Monetization

In order to maximize revenue and add more value, operators must expand their connectivity offerings beyond speed and customer experience; they need to expand their footprint into edge cloud platforms and AI-based solution stacks. Doing this will help them secure a larger share of the potential profits.
This article discusses the transformative potential of 5G technology in telecommunications and the rise of a 5G marketplace model. It highlights how 5G’s high-speed, low-latency, and reliable capabilities can enhance Internet of Things applications, virtual reality, and mission-critical business communications. The article also explores how communication service providers can leverage 5G to offer value-based pricing and new services through network slicing and multi-access edge computing. The proposed 5G marketplace model allows users to compare and choose from various service offerings, similar to established B2C and B2B marketplaces. However, it also mentions the need for robust infrastructure, complex billing mechanisms, and industry acceptance for the successful implementation of this model.
Operators face billing challenges due to limitations with legacy systems that cannot support intent-based pricing.
Geoff delves into why 5G revenues have failed to meet expectations, what customers and businesses anticipate from network operators and the potential for operators to capitalize on new monetization opportunities.
How to monetize 5G? That is a question that entire telecoms sector is asking, and there isn’t a quick answer – 5G isn’t a one-size-fits-all technology.
Realtime services and applications place new demands on overall network performance and reliability. As a result, mobile operators are under pressure to improve their networks to ensure a high-quality user experience supported by high service availability.
To truly monetize 5G, we need to provide consumers with 1) services they want to use that 2) demonstrate the value of 5G. This is how consumers rationalize the price they pay for accessing our network.
