REGULATORY POLICY FRAMEWORKS AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON 5G ADOPTION AND MONETISATION IN ENTERPRISES

Abstract

5G technology offers substantial growth potential for telecom operators, yet realizing its full value in enterprise segments remains difficult due to technological complexities, regulatory constraints, and varying adoption rates. This research investigates how service innovation, spectrum allocation, and regulatory environments shape revenue outcomes in 5G ecosystems. The quantitative results indicate that developing advanced and customized 5G services significantly boosts operator revenues by enabling tailored enterprise solutions. Similarly, supportive regulatory policies and well-coordinated spectrum strategies strongly affect pricing structures and deployment timelines. Increased enterprise adoption also emerged as a critical factor in strengthening monetization performance, highlighting the importance of targeted B2B approaches.

The qualitative analysis shows that telecom providers are exploring diverse monetization pathways such as IoT-enabled services, private 5G networks, and edge-computing solutions to broaden revenue portfolios and reach new markets. However, the success of these models is closely tied to predictable regulatory conditions and forward-looking spectrum management.

Overall, the study contributes practical insights by outlining real-world revenue models and adoption patterns that can guide operators in enhancing profitability and aligning with regulatory expectations.
