For nearly two years, 5G has dominated the conversation for cellular networks as a new wave of possibility. In a society pushed into a completely virtual space, the arrival of 5G has been welcome, but seemingly temporary. As the pandemic begins winding down, the sights of returning to “normal” production is suddenly within reach for creatives. However, instead of establishing a means to return to normal, 5G has slowly become the main avenue for new innovation.
This month’s episode of Hot Takes explores the uptrend of 5G technology in media and how its inevitable takeover will upheave the norms for creators and their content as we know it. Why is 5G important? And how does it affect content creators today? In his Hot Take, Joshua Ness from Verizon 5G Labs gives a forewarning to creatives to hop on the 5G train or get left in the virtual dust.
