As identified by Mobile World Live, tech giants Apple, Google and LG have actually signed up with the market group “Next G Alliance,” whose objectives consist of advancing “North American global leadership over the 5G evolutionary path and 6G early development” and developing a “Next G development roadmap that will promote a vibrant marketplace for 6G introduction, adoption and commercialization with North American innovation in mind.”

Other charter member of the group, which was developed by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions, consist of United States providers AT&T, Verizon, United States Cellular and T-Mobile in addition to Charter Communications and Canadian providers Bell and Telus. Microsoft, Samsung, Facebook, Cisco, Ericsson, Intel, Nokia and Qualcomm are all likewise charter members.

Notably missing from the list is Huawei, the Chinese innovation giant that was really associated with the networking side of early 5G implementations. Reports in 2015 recommended Huawei has actually currently started doing 6G research study of its own.

The founding members “shall be represented by senior business executives and are tasked with establishing the Alliance’s strategy and direction,” according to the NextG Alliance site. Membership as a founding member is $20,000 for 2021 with an inaugural meeting slated to take place this month to appoint a “Steering Group.” 

Working groups are expected to begin in early 2021, though there is no timeline for when 6G might hit the market or what it might even look like or offer. New technologies often take years to develop, and these are just two of the questions that this group will, in time, try to answer.
