As the world gradually adopts 5G, there’s already talk of the next generation.

It’ll be around 2030 before 6G arrives, but network operators in Japan and South Korea are gearing up.

So, why the early excitement over 6G? How should businesses be preparing and what difference will it make to our lives?
