5G innovations will not only be based on the telecommunications network, they will also often have a social network structure to themselves. Services taking advantage of 5G might involve people communicating with each other using phone handsets with VR or AR capabilities or firms using IoT technologies to collect data and remotely adjust machine operations. In both cases, 5G enables communication and information exchange through a network of connected devices or people. In this course, you will devise a strategy to build your network which involves getting many parties to adopt your innovation simultaneously. Finally, you will manage the boundaries of the network to your advantage and help customers and complementors switch into your product or service while moderating entry of competitors. These are basic network strategies that are critical for any innovator of communication network applications to master.
