Summary

This special issue is devoted to the prospect of 5G, with articles and interviews on what distinguishes the future standard from its predecessors, and why the stakes are so high. But this issue is also an opportunity to reflect on the mobile ecosystem’s extraordinary transformation since the early days of cellular calling, well before it became an integral part of the mobile Internet.
