Speaking to Bloomberg News at MWC Barcelona, Ekholm compared Europe’s sluggish move to 5G unfavourably to China

“China has already built out a 5G standalone network,” he said.

“Europe has elected to be a museum,” he added. “That’s a choice European citizens have to live with.”

    Well, yes. Now there’s just around 1.5 kilometers of my 16.5 kilometers work commute left where I have absolutely no network on my phone. We are really almost there. Maybe in 10 years or so when there will be the next generation standard after 5G we will have full EDGE coverage.

    Something something efficiency something technoligical progress. And “Technologieoffenheit” of course.
