The GSMA noted that 34 European markets had 5G service available as of the end of June 2022, with 108 providers providing commercial services and a user adoption of about 6%.

Vodafone UK in talks for merger with Three

By Aiste Kryzanovske October 5, 2022

Vodafone and CK Hutchison are in negotiations to merge their companies in the United Kingdom in order to establish a market-leading mobile network that may advance the roll-out of 5G services and boost Internet accessibility.

By Aiste Kryzanovske September 26, 2022

What if one day there was no Internet? The Web as we know it would be gone for good. Sites like Facebook, Twitter and Google would only exist in the memories of people who lived through the Great Disconnection. The Internet is the greatest invention and technological revolution since the printing press.
