Our second live Q&A show from day one of the 5G Evolution Summit saw TelecomTV’s Guy Daniels and Ray Le Maistre joined by guest panellists, who addressed audience questions about 5G private networks, spectrum allocation, and more. Among the questions raised by our audience were:

• In private 5G networks, will the 5G core be implemented at the customer site?
• What is the role of hyperscalers?
• Is spectrum the key to telco private 5G strategies?
• Are we too early for private 5G; will significant business only come in the second half of the decade?
• Is the survey right to suggest that cloud native is a crucial factor for the success of 5G?
• Private 5G is just about selling more connectivity; how do we offer more innovative services?
