“5G is now a reality in several countries, and service rollouts are expected to accelerate in 2019 and 2020. 5G is much more than just a new mobile technology: it represents a major development and innovation milestone in our increasingly connected world. We are forecasting 1.7 billion 5G SIM cards will be in use by the end of 2025.”
