The big 5G debate in South Africa

MTN and Vodacom have said that work on releasing additional radio frequency spectrum for use in 5G networks must start now.

Unless the government ensures 5G spectrum is released quickly, it will be the first time that South Africa is completely left behind when a new generation of wireless technology is released, MTN warned.

“Licensing 5G spectrum should be made a priority as this would prevent a situation where South Africa ends up lagging behind the rest of the world,” agreed Vodacom.

“This would also take some of the pressure off digital migration.”

Shouldn't they sort out 4/4G+ spectrum congestion first before worrying about playing with the big guns?

Don't worry about 5G , first sort out ICASAs ruling on roll over data and non expired data , then we can talk 5G

What is there to sort out? ICASA has set the rules and wireless carrier have to carry out their orders. It's not negotiable. They're just dragging their feet, trying to squeeze out the last vestiges that are left inside that cash cow right now.

Research the DANGERS of 5G. This has nothing to do with you downloading a movie in next to no time, this has to do with CONTROLLING YOU TO DEATH. 5G is a KILL GRID:

BTW, get in touch with Tracey-Lee Dorney.... you both lack brain cells and would be thick as thieves together... and provide the rest of us with hours of entertainment.
