What line items would show the positive impact of Mobile Edge Compute (MEC) on Verizon's growth in the next quarter 
in the wireless space with content, gives a lot more transparency. So as costs go up, it's much easier for those to flow through to the end user.
Michael Rollins -- Citigroup -- Analyst
Thanks.
Brady Connor -- Senior Vice President, Investor Relations
Yeah. Thanks, Mike. Brad, we're ready for the next question.

The next question is from Colby Synesael of Cowen. Your line is open.
Colby Synesael -- Cowen and Company -- Analyst
Great. Thank you. Two if I may. First, you're starting to talk more about or let's just say disclose more on fixed wireless, which we appreciate. But you've also talked about the other 5G growth opportunity being Mobile Edge Compute or MEC. When will we start to see that show up in the numbers and actually start positively contributing to growth? And where -- what line items would you point to where we'll be able to see that?
And then secondly, Hans, you mentioned that next quarter we should expect to see 2022 guidance. Just curious, if your views on the metrics that you're focusing on might change. You're going to be seeing incremental headwinds, particularly to EPS, purchase and accounting, I believe on the spectrum. Just curious if you believe guiding to EBITDA and/or free cash flow is something that might become more important when we see that guidance for next year? Thank you.
Hans Vestberg -- Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Great question, Colby. First, on the Mobile Edge Compute. We are -- first of all, we're doing a great progress in Mobile Edge Compute. And you have seen that we have made announcements in the quarter with the biggest cloud providers in the market both on the private 5G Mobile Edge Compute. And as you remember, there are basically three use cases. One is the public Mobile Edge Compute and then it's a private Mobile Edge Compute and then it's private 5G networks. All of them sort of are in execution right now and we're working with customers. We have announced a couple of commercial contracts already, like Corning, British Ports, etc. So that's already happening. And of course, it takes some time because we are actually creating a totally new market and we are actually alone in this market. Nobody else in the world has launched Mobile Edge Compute at this moment.
So of course, we feel really good about that. And the team is working through the funnel all the way from proof of context to new applications, and that's how it works when you create new markets, etc. So we will come back as soon as we feel it's time to start reporting it as we're done with 5G fixed wireless access. But I'm even more sort of excited about the Mobile Edge Compute what I've seen in the last year here with the technology solutions we have and also the customer interaction we have together with the main partners. I mean, we have the biggest partners you can everything about in this that are equally much invested as us because that was part of the strategy to bring different partners we have there.
So we will continue with that. And we will come back and report. And we will give you new deals and how is this progressing with partners over time. And ultimately of course it's going to be financials, and that's going to show up initially, of course, it's going to be on Verizon Business Group, that's going to have that as revenue. There is a B2B2C opportunity longer term, which can end up in Consumer. But predominantly, in the beginning, it's a Verizon Business Group opportunity.
Matt, on guidance? Can we talk through what you're going to do next year? He hasn't told me yet.
Matthew D. Ellis -- Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
So Colby, great question. So obviously, we'll get into guidance at the next call. But as you mentioned, we always look at what year-over-year pressures may be in there, especially things that are accounting-related rather than cash flow-related. We'll make sure we have the appropriate level of transparency around that. The important thing for us to be able to demonstrate in that guidance is how our strategy is working, and it's going to show up in reve
