Q: Hi Ryan
I have been trying to formulate an investment thesis regarding the impending roll out of 5G and am wondering if 5i has developed any ideas as how to invest in this technology. Noticed a few commentators have indicated that the best way would not necessarily be with the telcos but rather with the "picks and shovels" providers like chip makers or contract manufacturers.

Also, read an interesting piece the other day on SA regarding CCI in the US positioning itself for 5G.

Thanks for your insight
