U.S. 5G Connections Forecast, 2023–2027


This IDC study provides the U.S. 5G connections forecast for 2023–2027.“5G became the modus operandi for the majority of mobile subscribers in the United States in 2023, though not because it was an intent-based decision, but rather the ubiquity of coverage, inclusion of 5G in nearly all wireless service plans, and the increasing number of 5G-capable devices on the market have led mobile subscribers to find themselves on 5G,” says Jason Leigh, research manager, 5G and Mobile Services, IDC. “But the development of scalable, profitable use cases commensurate with the level of investment to build out these networks has lagged, and it is incumbent upon all 5G ecosystem players to integrate their innovation efforts to create new, meaningful use cases that leverage this established base of 5G subscribers for new revenue and incentivize and accelerate continued migration to 5G.”

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
