7A – Testing the Hypothesis, Part 1


1.       5G Equipment
2.       Clearly state the opportunity
a.       The Who:
                                                               i.      Mobile-phone carrier
b.       The What:
                                                               i.      They can’t mass deployment the 5G base stations for the 5G network.
c.       The Why:
                                                               i.      Technology shortage and lacking nice priced 5G equipment
3.       'Hypothesis' about the opportunity.
a.       Testing the who:
                                                               i.      Are there any other countries mobile-phone carriers need?
                                                             ii.      How about Canada?
b.       Testing what:
                                                               i.      Is that 5G only face to the mobile phone?
                                                             ii.      Is there any chance to use 5G on the laptop?
                                                           iii.      How much money for the bill need to pay for the 5G plan?
                                                           iv.      How should the carrier charge the monthly fee to cover the expenses on deployment?
c.       Testing the why:
                                                               i.      Does the government support this?
                                                             ii.      What’s the age range for people who would like to use 5G?
                                                           iii.      What kind of people like to pay for 5G?
4.       Interviews
a.       Mrs. Jade, age 53, doesn’t care about the 5G or not. She only cares about the signal is good enough or not. Because she sometimes can’t get high-speed internet.
b.       Mr. Wade, age 49, he cares a lot 5G. Because he usually watches videos on the phone and faster internet means don’t need to wait for loading the video.
c.       Mr. Wang, age 22, he also cares about 5G because he used a lot of TikTok. He watches it all the time and maybe one day make the video and post it on. He needs a fast uploading speed from his phone for the short videos.
d.       Mr. Zhong, age 32, works in Tencent Technology. He thinks 5G will makes the car smarter. Like the autopilot from Tesla, the car will be smarter based on the 5G that cloud computing power to help car drive better and safer.
e.       Jeff, age 67, he cares about the 5G a lot because he is getting older. He thinks 5G can help doctors do telesurgery more accurately and portable. Like using the phone to complete 1,000 miles away surgery.
5.       Summary
a.       5G is the trending. We are using 4G and LTE that we think maybe already fast enough. Based on the fast network, we can use Google map when we are driving, call Uber anywhere anytime we need, and find a nearby restaurants when we are hungry outside. When we under 4G, we already feel the convenience of the technology. Probably 5G will change more than we think.

  1. Hi Dongen. I like that you chose to pursue the idea of the implementation of 5G technology in the US cell phone market. I find it interesting how although you spoke to an older demographic, they still were interested, for the most part, in the new technology. Mr. Zhong had an interesting viewpoint on how it can be implemented into car tech.

  2. Hello Dongen! This is a great Hypothesis. You have a great opportunity. You conducted some great interviews. They all give you different perspectives on 4G and LTE internet service. I agree that 5G is trending and that with technology advancing we will soon have 8G. I especially loves how one of your interviewees mentioned how he things the internet will be displayed in the car, that seems pretty cool.
