Andthe subject is still debated at European level, it seems that everything is on track within our borders for the development of new telecommunications frequencies5G. A press release from the Ministry of the Economy and Finance has just confirmed the deployment schedule for this technology, which arrives as expected a few months late.
We learn in particular that the objective of this development, for the country, is to advance not only IoT but also artificial intelligence, two key subjects for the coming years. Video streaming, on the consumer side, should also benefit from the change, with download speeds that could theoretically reach1 Go par second.
Why is it so long?
If France decided to waitJune 2020so that we can connect to 5G, there is a reason. As the various ISPs all wanted to be able to attack this new market, the State chose to regulate it. Concretely, the following weeks will be dedicated to the validation of operators by the authorities. This will then allow SFR, Bouygues, Orange and others to begin their activities.
L’ARCEP(Electronic Communications and Postal Authority) must also take advantage of this time to choose what prices it will charge, and therefore the taxes that companies like Free will have to pay to access 5G. Because yes, it is not a common good in the eyes of the executive!
The consequences for consumers should, however, be negligible, as few citizens are currently equipped with a smartphone with a 5G chip. As a reminder,THEiPhoneshould also become compatible with this new networkby 2020.
