Abstract:
This paper is a comparative analysis of national strategies for developing mobile technology in four countries–China, India, South Korea, and the United States–encompassing state support for research and development, innovation, industrial policy, and standard setting. Three generations of mobile technology are examined from 3G to 5G. We conclude with speculations on emerging policies in the realm of 6G in the context of past national experiences with, and learning from, previous generations of mobile technology.
