IT Spending Will Tilt Towards 5G by mid 2020s

Most observers would agree that 5G, edge computing and the internet of things are revenue and growth opportunities for mobile and other connectivity providers. Just how big an opportunity is the issue. 


The other issue is that value and revenue within the information technology and communications spheres keeps shifting away from “data access and transport,” increasing the attractiveness of new services not entirely reliant on “connectivity” revenue. 


In fact, the IBM Institute for Business Value believes most information technology spend after 2027 will be related to 5G, edge computing, cloud computing, cloud infrastructure, enterprise applications, artificial intelligence and basic connectivity. 


One might argue that is too broad a way to look at matters, but the essential point is that 5G could be part of a complex of advanced technologies that shape IT spending by 2027.
