5G Private Captive Networks will play a significant role in enabling innovative next-generation mission-critical applications like remote healthcare/surgery, robotics, autonomous transportation, etc. However, while 5G technologies can be leveraged as significant enablers for driving business efficiency and raising the quality of life, they can also present risks in terms of unfair business models, misuse/manipulation, and wastage of scarce public resources. Therefore, policy and decision-makers need to be aware of the underlying challenges and concerns, and should carefully consider how to unlock the public value of the 5G technology while minimizing its adverse impacts on inclusion and sustainability.
