NBTC: EEC may get first taste of 5G adoptionAn artist's rendition of the smart city concept in the Eastern Economic Corridor province of Rayong. Nationwide 5G adoption is expected next year as the network roll-out and business use cases need time to take shape, the telecom regulator said. 5G adoption also needs a lot more network roll-out investment. DES Minister Buddhipongse Punnakanta said the ministry will collaborate with other relevant agencies to clear obstacles to 5G adoption in the country, particularly in the EEC. Once the national 5G committee is formed, a clear roadmap for the country's 5G adoption and related infrastructure development will be formed through cooperation with other ministries, Mr Buddhipongse said.
