A recent report [1] by the GSA concluded that 153 operators from 64 countries and regions had launched 3GPP-based 5G services by the end of March 2021, which will put it on track to reach another 3 billion subscribers by 2025 to service more than 30 percent of the population. 5G has made noticeable progress in China [2], with the total number of 5G base stations and connected 5G phones reaching 819,000 and 280 million, respectively, by April 2021, making up 70 percent and over 80 percent of their respective global market share.
