In October, the replies were collected when countries were mostly going through second waves of virus infections and accompanying measures to restrict activities and movement. According to the survey, the crisis has made consumers more reliant on telecom services, particularly as working from home has become a new standard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Rogerio-Dienes-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Rogerio Dienes, Head of the Communications, Media and Technology Practice at Oliver Wyman\" class=\"wp-image-17369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Rogerio-Dienes-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Rogerio-Dienes-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Rogerio-Dienes-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Rogerio-Dienes-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Rogerio-Dienes-1080x1080.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Rogerio-Dienes-440x440.jpg 440w, https:\/\/saudishopper.com.sa\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Rogerio-Dienes.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Rogerio Dienes, Head of the Communications, Media and Technology Practice at Oliver Wyman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rogerio Dienes, Head of the Communications, Media, and Technology Practice at Oliver Wyman, said: \u201cThe UAE has for long positioned itself as one of the most progressive and innovative countries in the world when it comes to technology and connectivity and is the first Arab nation to launch 5G. As such, coverage is a key development criterion for the UAE digital society vision \u2013 empowering new services for consumers, enterprises and society is crucial.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With exponential gains in both speed and capacity,&nbsp;nearly half of the UAE youth said they were excited or very excited about the opportunities presented by 5G in the country, the largest expression of interest across all countries and age groups surveyed. The technology will enable the current and upcoming generations to access a variety of emerging digital technologies from Connected Factories to Industry 4.0 initiatives and Connected Vehicles. The survey also pointed to&nbsp;faster home broadband speed and unlimited mobile data among the top factors that could drive increased willingness to pay in telecom customers internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the UAE prepares to build out and densify its next-generation mobile networks, it seeks to extend 5G connectivity to millions of consumers. UAE based telecommunications services providers such as Etisalat have since been instrumental in securing the country\u2019s reputation as a leading 5G innovator, with the provider switching to a 5G network in May 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rogerio added: \u201cThe 40<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;edition of GITEX Technology Week in Dubai will showcase the latest innovations from the world\u2019s leading 5G players and will give consumers a preview of a digital future made possible by 5G technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For further details and
