The need for speed in adopting 5G
If ‘Thailand 4.0’ is to be taken seriously, the country cannot be left behind in upgrading its support technology. The government needs to speed up the auction of critical radio frequencies for the private sector to develop fifth-generation (5G) mobile services if the country’s digital economic ambitions are to be taken seriously. According to a Huawei analysis based on the World Bank’s GDP database of member-countries, 5G technology will usher in a new era for the Thai digital economy and society, with significant benefits for manufacturing industries, agriculture, wholesale and retail, public services and other sectors.
