Optus launched 5G broadband services in February, while Telstra intends to begin selling 5G handsets within six months. However, Colin McCallum of Credit Suisse has downplayed the merits of 5G technology for consumers, arguing that existing 4G networks can cope with the demands of streaming video. He notes that deploying 5G technology will require significant capital expenditure, while the opportunities for increased revenue from consumers are quite limited at present.
