An expert predicted that 5G commercialization is expected to be realized in 2019, with large-scale 5G application being completed in two to three more years, the People's Daily Overseas Edition reported. According to the plan of China's big three telecom carriers -- China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom -- China will realize 5G network commercialization by 2020. China has issued licenses to the big three telecom carriers to use the low-and medium-band spectrum for nationwide 5G trial network construction, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said Thursday.
