This would of course be true no matter what year &#8211; past, present or future &#8211; the consultation was conducted (demands are always rising).<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> By &#8220;<em>future<\/em>&#8221; needs they mean the next 10-years since, when it comes to technology, accurately seeing beyond that is difficult.<\/div>\n<p>As usual the Government&#8217;s press release quickly wonders into the territory of excessive hype when talking about 6G, while neatly ignoring that identical claims were made about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a>: &#8220;<em>6G will power things like virtual reality calls, which give the sensation of being in the same room as the person at the other end of the line, revolutionise wearable technologies to improve healthcare and could allow for greater advances in smart cities and manufacturing<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The consultation should help the government to set out what role they&#8217;ll play in supporting related investment, while also building a new policy framework to encourage innovation, competition and investment in both existing and future networks. It will also examine what regulatory changes might be needed via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a>, such as in terms of future spectrum allocations and auctions etc.<\/p>\n<p>The call for evidence seeks responses from a wide range of interested parties, including fixed and mobile network operators and service providers, academics, the public, consumer interest groups and businesses and their trade associations. The government intends to publish the WIS at some point in <strong>2022<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Nadine Dorries MP, UK Digital Secretary, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Government is on a mission to connect the country to next-generation networks. Today&#8217;s announcements will help harness the huge potential of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a> and future wireless networks such as 6G to supercharge our plan to build back better.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At this point it&#8217;s important to remember that 6G development is not something that the UK Government has much control over and is more the product of various research teams from different countries, which will all eventually feed into an agreed standard. Overall, 6G isn&#8217;t expected to become a solid standard until around 2025, with commercial builds following in 2028, but the first draft standard may be defined in the 2021\/22 period.<\/p>\n<p>The big challenge for 6G is in knowing where to go with the technology. On that front we find ourselves agreeing with a recent call from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a>, various MPs and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theiet.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Institution of Engineering and Technology<\/a> (IET), which suggested moving away from the usual focus on &#8220;<em>ever higher data [speeds] and ever higher spectrum bands<\/em>&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2021\/04\/ofcom-and-uk-mps-support-iet-call-for-new-approach-to-6g-mobile.html\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>After all, if operators are already struggling to make a viable commercial model from the mmWave bands (these aren&#8217;t yet being used for 5G mobile in the UK), then pushing 6G into the <strong>TeraHertz<\/strong> bands would be the exact opposite of a fix for those challenges. On the other hand you never know what tomorrow will bring and 6G improvements will be about more than just higher frequency spectrum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new &#8216;Call for Evidence&#8216; is being launched by the Government today, which aims to inform their future Wireless Infrastructure Strategy (WIS).
