Sharad Sharma, ‘Vice President Head of Infrastructure Business’. at NTT DATA UK&I, said: “With the potential merger of Three and Vodafone, the joint company will have access to a large spectrum asset. This will enable this joint venture to take some technologically advanced initiatives around 5G and later 6G, putting the UK at the forefront of tech innovation.
“Moreover, with the joined-up might of two large organisations we expect to see the expedited rollout of 5G networks and broadband to rural areas. Vital services will benefit from faster connectivity – enabling faster response times, better patient care, and more reliable service all across the public sector in underserved areas.
“No-one should be left behind. And with a merger this size, the UK telecoms industry is showing that it’s serious, that it means business, and that no provider can drag their heels in the campaign for universal connectivity.
“To encourage growth across all elements of the economy and to build Society 5.0, everyone from individuals to small business owners to mid-large enterprises must have access to 4G and 5G networks. For the UK to be a leader in the advent of 5G technologies, we must act like one. To the benefit of communities, businesses, and – most importantly – people.”
