Has 5G failed? No. Except you’d be forgiven for thinking so given everything that has been written about it in recent months – at least among the things I read, by the people I rate (and you all read, too). It’s like the critics have seen enough, and decided, one after another, to pause the play and deliver their half-time analysis. And the verdict ain’t pretty: 5G, five years old already, has failed to deliver the industry turnaround that all the research and money – and all the big talk and hard work – was for.
