Ireland has a lot of Pharma (viagra, botox, lipitor, paracetemol ). Most of base compounds for Pharma come from China or India. US no longer has any operational fermentors for antibiotics - all in China. This crisis has highlighted the geographical weakness and Trump wants to bring of these industries home. Other countries have similar concerns. So big risk Ireland will lose pharma. ISPs are mainly national at the moment. However the most significant part of 5G - network slicing can change that - still a local 5G network but the ISP can then be more distributed. Locals telcos like the idea of 5G network slicing as it'll take back some control (and revenue) from big cloud operators who just use a local POP and divert a lot of telco revenue by using their own networks. . There talk that Korea (Samsung) and China (Huawei) are going to push hard 5G rolllout as part of the subsidised recovery after the virus. Other countries might use the opportunity especially if the jump in network usage due to more remote working, more videoconferencing, more streamed media usage. tele medicine, online ordering/delivery etc. persists. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111843 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
