5G networks may be in the early days, but a new group made up of some of the biggest names in wireless and tech have joined to form ATIS’s "Next G Alliance" aimed at leading in 6G and beyond…The goal of the alliance is North American 6G market leadership, spanning the full range from R&D, manufacturing, standardization and market-readiness.

Ankit Malhotra's key takeaways:
- Beginning stages for 6G and this is in-line with decades long timelines for next-gen tech development.
- To be sure, nationalistic goals – especially in light of China’s 5G leadership – will be a driver for R&D and public policy initiatives.
