5G Factor: Dishing about Slowing 5G Spending, Spectrum Auctions and the Politics Getting in the Way, and Qvantel BSS Availability on AWS

In this episode of The 5G Factor, Shelly Kramer and fellow analyst Ron Westfall took a look at the recent developments in the 5G ecosystem that we think you might want to know about. 

Their conversation covered:

• News that Dish plans on slowing its spending on 5G, at least for a bit. What’s the rationale here?
• Speaking of Dish, the company has filed a petition with the FCC hoping to block T-Mobile’s purchase of 600MHz spectrum – what’s that all about?
• And speaking of spectrum, are politics getting in the way of unleashing 5G innovation, especially in rural and other underserved areas? Maybe.
• And they closed the show talking about Qvantel Flexx BSS, a cloud-native SaaS based BSS, which comes with pre-built out of the box use cases designed for quick deployments that will allow telcos to develop, manage, and monetize new services now available on AWS. CSPs should like this.
