Internet Governance Discussions – Opening a 6G Cash Register?
While internet governance sounds only marginally relevant, there are some interesting opportunities available for those who can step in with solutions. Players in both internet and telecoms have the scope do exactly that, influencing the future of lives online as well as building whole new areas of business.
The (Wireless) Logic of IoT Consolidation Excluding the MNOs
While the Internet of Things is growing well annually, these days the operator community doesn’t talk too much about it. Wireless Logic’s Paul Bullock discusses the business challenges facing MNOs in taking advantage of IoT and sets out a possible future for the sector.
6G, Share Prices, and a Blood Transfusion
Digital transformation is being seen as a critical element of telecoms providers’ survival. The current financial outlook for the industry is not great, and that will feed through into scope for investment into the next generation. We explore whether there is an opportunity to start remedying that.
A “Physical Layer Machine Learning Applications Want To See”?
Rob Calderbank of Duke University is one of those unusual academics to have spent a long time in commercial telecoms environments. Today, while he is leading Duke’s interdisciplinary work on big data, he has also recently published work on something he calls pulsones, which may contribute to a more efficient future air interface. 6GWorld caught up with him to find out more about this, and why a big data professor is worrying about radio.
6 Months of 6G – Action Globally
While many of us are familiar with the leading role of the USA, China and Europe in the development of mobile technologies all the way up to 5G, countries around the world are seeing their opportunity to contribute in new ways to the next generation of telecoms. The past six months have seen not just statements of intent but concrete actions to bring countries and regions into the 6G fold.

The Trouble With Scaling O-RAN & TIP Innovation
Enterprise services are a focus in both 5G and 6G. However, a major challenge lies in being able to deliver end-to-end quality of service guarantees, particularly where services travel across more than one operator network. Open RAN and open networks should help, but will that even be a 6G phenomenon?
Video: “Immersive, Inclusive and Sustainable 6G”
InterDigital’s VP Milind Kulkarni summarises the state of conversation and ambition around 6G at present, timelines, and some of the demands this implies for the design of the new networks.
