But for others, there still exist some serious obstacles before being able to hop onto the bandwagon and start reaping the multi- faceted benefits that
5、the next day can bring. Once again, in year 2020, we will be taking a close look into what we believe to be some of the most important factors and evaluate each European countrys readiness to deploy and adopt 5G networks. To achieve such a goal, the Europe 5G Readiness Index is being updated, taking
6、 into consideration a full year of developments in the 5G race. For those unfamiliar with the index, an overall readiness score is presented for each country which comprises 6 factor categories with 35 criteria in total within those categories. Index scores can be used to draw comparisons at all lev

The divide between Western and Eastern Europe still exists, while Northern European countries in particular look very well equipped for the challenges lying ahead.
