By contrast, rival mobile equipment maker Nokia said the shift to “5G-ready” wireless networks could begin to ramp up as early as 2017, well ahead of any final agreement on formal 5G standards. “5G will have no impact whatsoever for consumers in the next five years,” said Forrester Research analyst Thomas Husson.
