Stakeholders believe that 6G can be standardized by 2030 and that 3GPP will play a leading role. However, it is increasingly difficult to be heard, with the result that independent voices could lead to new approaches, while growing political pressure is also recognized – and could be disruptive.

Thus far, we have considered factors that are shaping 5G and are likely to influence the ways in which 6G is likely to take shape. We have explored how standardization happens, based on high‐level definition of performance goals in the shape of ITU‐T IMTs; the increasingly diverse stakeholder ecosystem; political influences; emerging models for open solutions; and changes inherent to 5G architecture that are likely to have significant and lasting impact on all subsequent generations of mobile technology. We also conducted interviews with a number of industry stakeholders to solicit external opinions.

The interviews were conducted in July 2020. Representatives from academia, standards bodies, and the wider industry were presented with the same set of questions. Key findings are discussed next.
