The 5G Myth explains why the vision of 5G, the next generation in
mobile telephony, heralded as a huge advance in global connectivity,
is flawed and sets out a better vision for a connected future. It
explains why insufficient technological advances and inadequate
profitability will be problems in the widespread implementation of 5G.
The book advocates a focus on consistent connectivity everywhere
rather than fast speeds in city centers. William Webb looks back at
the transitions through previous generations of mobile telephony and
shows what simple extrapolations of trends would predict for 5G. He
discusses whether the increases in speed and capacity promised by 5G
are needed; if the required technology is available; whether a sound
business case can be made for the deployment; and asks why, given
this, the industry appears so supportive of 5G. He then puts forth the
argument in favor of consistent connectivity of around 10Mbits/s
everywhere as a more compelling vision and shows how it can be
delivered via a mix of 4G and Wi-Fi. Subscribers to The Economist can
