It is reported that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has chosen to release 5G spectrum and licenses during this time period, which is in sync with the global 5G deployment rhythm. It is also widely believed that the allocation of spectrum will affect the 5G development process. Because the spectrum is uncertain, it will lead to huge investment and unclear investment by operators and equipment manufacturers.
