"While 5G has already kicked off in many parts of the world, we're still struggling with 4G here in India. Yes, you can buy a 5G compatible phone in India today but it's going to be useless until we get 5G connections from our service providers.As of now, there's literally no info about 5G rollout in India. But guess what? There are some companies overseas that are already talking about 6G. The new industry group \"Next G Alliance\" has been set up with a goal of advancing \"North American Global leadership over 6G early development.\"                        © ReutersThe founding members of this group include carriers AT&T, Verizon, US Cellular, and T-Mobile, as well as smartphone makers Apple, Google, and Samsung. Yes, this is actually a real thing and it looks like they're already working towards 6G.Membership in the coalition will cost $20,000 in 2021 and the first annual meeting will occur later this month to appoint a \"steering group.\" From what we're hearing, it looks like this group will begin its work in 2021. That being said, there's no timeline for when we might see 6G or what it would be capable of achieving.There's no denying that there's a long road ahead when it comes to 6G technology. Cellular technologies usually take a very long time to develop, so it kind of makes sense to have 6G conversations already to lay some groundwork.                        © ReutersWe can't comment on the 6G tech yet. Heck, even 5G seems like a far-fetched idea for Indians for now. Yes, we keep hearing some news about the 5G rollout in India but nothing's been said or done so far that makes us want to go out, sell our old phones and get a 5G compatible device. So, yes, we're glad that the 6G conversation is already a thing but we have plenty of other things to worry about for now.Source: Mobile World Live"
