How can we make 6G open, inclusive and focussed on the great global challenges?
Former Community Member
Conversations are just starting in various parts of the world about 6G, and these will begin to define what sort of 6G emerges a decade from now. We published a 6G for policy makers guide that discuses the need for a new approach to 6G that connects it to societal and global challenges, fuses the virtual, physical, and non-physical worlds, enables technologies, and reaches our net-zero carbon emission goal. Read our guide and let us know what you think needs to be considered to make 6G open, inclusive and focused on the great global challenges that lay ahead.
You make some good points. In particular I share your strong support for 3GPP. They have done an outstanding job and will continue to do so. However, the world is changing. That is the point being made in the IET Guide "6G for Policy Maker" (which I edited). In particular there is a convergence going on that is bringing quite different industries with quite different standards traditions into play. So how does 3GPP reach out beyond its traditional boundaries? We also see a sharp rise of geopolitical tensions over 5G technology. How does 3GPP sustain its global coherence in a 6G era? The main purpose of the IET guide is to identify the issues that policy makers need to think about now in order to be ahead of the curve.
Your point about the government funding somebody to present the security issues to the standards bodies is well taken. If we get around to a 2nd edition of "6G for Policy Makers" then the government funding of representation to 3GPP on security issues (but not just security issues) would definitely be something worth including.
