The imminent rollout of 5G services in India — expected by Diwali 2022 — has some interesting ‘side-effects’.
One of its biggest consequences is the levelling up of the gaming and esports industry. 5G, the new generation telecom technology, promises higher spends, lower latency and better device density. This means that networks will now be able to provide higher speeds with minimal lag (little to no buffering) and can support more devices per unit area.
