2. Ajit Pai’s tweet on Ninth Circuit court upholding FCC’s orders on 5G deployment

Ajit Pai, Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), an agency that regulates international and interstate communication in the US, tweeted on how a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit upheld three FCC orders issued to facilitate the rapid deployment of fifth generation (5G) wireless facilities across the nation.

5G requires installation of small cell wireless facilities, however, these facilities faced numerous local objections, in response to which the FCC issued the three orders in 2018. The Ninth Circuit’s decision will help to eliminate numerous barriers, such as exorbitant fees imposed by

local authorities, and unreasonable obstacles to pole access, that would otherwise cut down the speed of wide-scale small cell deployment.

9. Roberto Viola’s tweet on human mobility and Covid-19 spread

Roberto Viola, Directorate General of Communication, Networks, Content and Technology at the European Commission, shared an article on how a research team from the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre conducted a systematic analysis to study the relationship between human mobility and Covid-19 spread.

The article noted that the researchers used aggregated and anonymised mobile phone location data, which was provided by 14 telecom providers from 19 European Union (EU) member states and Norway, to study the impact of mobility on the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. The results of the research show that lockdown measures were effective in controlling the spread of Covid-19.

In addition to identifying mobility patterns, the mobility data can also help authorities to design the best data-driven methods for planning the socio-economic impacts of lockdown measures and provide insights to deal with new outbreaks in the future.

10. Marcell Vollmer’s tweet on the cost of 1GB mobile data in different countries

Marcell Vollmer, partner and director at Boston Consulting Group (BCG) shared an article on the average cost of one gigabyte (GB) of mobile data in different countries. India tops the list of cheapest countries for mobile data consumption, where one can buy 1GB of mobile data at only $0.09. The article noted that there is a huge market competition among telecom providers in India, that drives down the cost of mobile data in the nation.

The article further noted that dependency on mobile data, infrastructure, lower data consumption, and the average income of customers were some of the factors that explain the cost discrepancies across countries.

For example, regardless of Kyrgyzstan’s poor infrastructure and huge rural population, the country ranks third among the list of countries for low mobile data cost, which may be due to dependence of users on mobile data as a primary source of internet. The high cost of mobile data in Sub-Saharan Africa is due to lack of infrastructure and market competition, the article added.
