What is Global 5G Evolution's stand?

Both GSMA's and GSA's information often ignores the fact that in order to build a holistic 5G ecosystem for Enterprises market, particularly for the startups/SMEs and by the startups SMEs vendor, the report shall deliver a significant strategies and roadmap to further strengthen the economic prospect of the smaller players.

Regulatory measures methods shall be put in place to ensure fair access for other smaller players and prevent monopolistic practices, thereby maintaining a healthy market environment. (Page 31, Item No.6, mentioned just few players only as an eg. Would be good to list them).

While GSMA's primary focus may be on MNOs, they do recognize the importance of a diverse and inclusive ecosystem. They often engage with various stakeholders, including smaller players, to address industry challenges and promote innovation. This should be seen more visible too.

It's important to consider that industry associations like GSMA typically aim to balance the interests of different stakeholders within the industry. While their focus may lean towards MNOs, they also should strive to create an environment that supports the overall growth & development of the mobile ecosystem.

Enterprises have unique and specific demands and requirements that drive the need for innovative 5G solutions. These environments often have more stringent & dynamic requirements compared to public networks.

As of today, January 15, 2024: No Chairman: The position of Chairman has been vacant since April 2023, following the resignation of the previous chairman.

The government has acknowledged these concerns and has assured the public that they are actively searching for qualified candidates to fill the vacant positions. However, there is no official timeline for when new bo
