Criticism that 5G of the next-generation communication standard is `` excessively advertised as a political tool ''
The 5th generation mobile communication system (5G) is a next-generation communication standard that claims higher speed, larger capacity, lower delay, and more simultaneous connections than conventional wireless communication.Communication test services have already been implemented in Japan, and 2020 In the year, commercial services will begin to be offered. However, technology media Techdirt has criticized that such '5G' is being overtreated by politicians and lobbyists in the telecommunications industry.
The 'Race To 5G' Is A Giant Pile Of Lobbyist Nonsense | Techdirt
With the rapid spread of smartphones and the advancement of Internet technology, systems that can communicate large amounts of data at high speeds have been required. The 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), which has been popular since around 2015, is theoretically capable of communication speeds of 500 Mbps to 1 Gbps, but the maximum speed for 5G is about 10 Gbps, which is about 10 times higher. It is said that. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (PDF file) states in its outlook that the delay will be about 1 millisecond and 1 million simultaneous connections per square kilometer will theoretically be possible.

'The important thing with 5G is that it can provide a faster and more resilient network, but Techdirt said that this technology is over-promoted, such as 'this technology has the power to change society.' And, apart from international efforts to adopt faster communication standards, it is becoming overly competitive. '
For example, Huawei, a Chinese company, is one step ahead in 5G-related technology, and the United States is reported to have forced telecommunications companies and software vendors to develop related systems and software in open source to counter this. You. Techdirt said, '5G is like a 'policy garbage' that is scattered by lobbyists and think tanks that try to surprise parliamentarians, like blockchain and AI. I'll even lose my translation. '

In January 2020, former Congressman Mike Rogers launched a lobbying organization called 5G Action Now . Specific activities of 5G Action Now include general lobbying activities, such as appealing to the government for deregulation and increasing subsidies, and requesting the Federal Communications Commission for spectrum allocation. However, 'This is not a competition for consumer interests, it is a competition for government protection and a competition for revenue growth,' Techdirt said.
The website also states that the purpose of 5G Action Now is 'to excite the U.S. national security debate, win the battle with China in 5G innovation, and increase economic benefits.' It does not hide any consciousness.
However, Techdirt criticizes lobbying organizations and the media, which use excessive lifting of 5G, to 'forget' that the United States was ahead of the world with the introduction of 4G. Even when the 3.9th generation mobile communication system (LTE) appeared, it was important to be able to communicate large volumes of data faster than the previous generation, but in fact the average of the measured LTE network in the United States was It turns out that the speed is low, and there are many people who access and communicate with the public LAN via Wi-Fi.

As with 5G, the LTE service that appeared in the complaint of `` faster and larger capacity than the previous generation '' became poor as a result of various intertwined situations such as regulatory crackdown and merger of telecommunications companies. Yes, and it takes a long time to resolve this, Techdirt said, criticizing that political movements such as competition between telecommunications companies and demands for political incentives are complicating matters. '5G is not a mysterious panacea that industry journalists and evangelists praise,' he said.
