In just under two weeks, on September 29, 2020, auctions for the future 5th generation very high-speed network will begin in France.
And let's face it, there will be no moratorium.
Publicity
The President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron was more than clear on this subject, two days ago, in front of French entrepreneurs in the high-tech sector denouncing the return to the oil lamp and the model of the Amish, this American religious community who refuses modernity until electricity.
He was responding to a forum asking to suspend the deployment of this technology, the time to study the impact and discuss it.
5G, necessity or danger?
This is the question of the day.
To discuss it:
- Marion Pariset,
secretary general and author of a report on 5G for the think tank Le Millénaire
- Sébastien Dumoulin
, tech-media journalist at Les Échos
- Hugues Ferreboeuf
, director of the “sobriety” project at the Shift Project, a group of reflection on energy transition.
