More than half of those surveyed reported 5G deployment delays caused by the impact of COVID-19 while more than a third reported future roadmaps delays.

92% expect to achieve 5G business goals within five years; larger carriers reported a focus on generating new revenue streams while supporting existing business to reduce operational costs and accommodate increasing demand.

Consumer devices leveraging 5G technology will be first to generate significant new revenue, followed by industrial and IIoT and fixed wireless access.

100% of respondents report issues with 5G deployment; top-three challenges are spectrum issues, lack of consumer use cases and regulations.

Only three in five survey participants reported the need for a "Killer app" or transformative use case to drive 5G adoption and significant new business revenues.

Only 25% of those polled believe that 5G is delivering substantial benefits to consumers today, but 99% anticipate substantial benefits within five years.
