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.”

    yeah, i still remember the remarks “5G bis zur Milchkanne” several years ago by CDU. like who needs this? and who has to pay for it. obviously, with CDU its the citizens that have to pay for it, even though they reap the least benefits. And all that just because the actors pushing for stuff (agrar and tech lobby) don’t want to pay and always go around the “gespenst” of Europe falling behind in tech. As if our agrar producers suddenly could not produce food without it.
