Why on earth would you upgrade legacy 4G infrastructure when you are touting the benefits of 5G?
Very simply you are being forced to by the exploding data consumption on 4G handsets that have yet to be traded in for 5G.
This is the worst possible scenario and most expensive from a CAPEX perspective for a Telco.
Generically speaking it makes no sense to invest more in legacy when you are rolling out brand new.
It speaks to the higher costs that Telcos are facing and the unplanned costs that they are incurring whilst simultaneously rolling out 5G
Telcos are going to need to very substantially increase prices in 4G and 5G or they risk blowing up their balance sheets.
