6G: Are we ambitious enough? – panel at MWC2025

the first commercial deployments of 6G around 2030, with the groundwork for this next generation of connectivity being laid right now. With standardization efforts kicking off, our industry must align on what will define the first phase of 6G.​
This session provided an opportunity to establish priorities and identify the key components of 6G that will deliver value to users, transform societies, and accelerate industry growth. Together, we explored our key priorities, and our long-term vision for 6G, and examined whether we are ambitious enough in how we as an industry are defining 6G.
