Description

  • What are emerging use cases in rural areas, and how do they justify the cost of infrastructure?
  • What innovative models — beyond traditional subsidies — can make rural 5G commercially viable, and how can policy and regulation support long-term value creation rather than short-term cost recovery?
  • Can cross-border collaboration in the region provide scalable models?
  • What role do public-private partnerships play in achieving digital inclusion?
