Consulting firm Bain & Company this week released a new report on 5G technology, essentially evaluating the market’s potential and looking at whether operators should invest in deploying the technology. The result?  

“The 5G pessimists are wrong,” the report stated.  

The findings are notable considering Bain & Company is a management consulting firm that advises companies on various issues, including whether and how they should invest in technologies like 5G. (It’s separate from Bain Capital, the private equity firm). The company regularly publishes industry research into various market areas including telecom for its clients.
