Wondering about 6G “which Fierce reminds y’all is still six years away”?

6G Requires 5G SA Core

 

“Operators, you’ll remember, have been crying about the costs to implement 5G SA for a couple of years.
Carrier executives have already told Fierce that they don’t want the same kind of capital expenditure
burden for 6G, so the new standard will use the 5G core to route traffic around the network and handle
user authentication and more.”

It sounds like the vast amount of hard infrastructure is going into 5G, not 6G. Makes sense.
