The G2 on 5G Podcast - Standalone Episode 6 (Ep 96) with Dish Wireless’ Marc Rouanne - a podcast by Anshel Sag and Will Townsend

In this standalone episode of the G2 on 5G, Anshel and Will speak with Marc Rouanne, Dish Wireless’ Executive Vice President and Chief Network Officer. We had an in-depth conversation with him about a multitude of 5G infrastructure topics.

We cover the following questions:

1. How is DISH differentiating itself relative to the more established incumbents, like AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon? How will the company compete for enterprise business – which is arguably the lion's share of 5G use cases?

2. One of the aspects that I find interesting about DISH is the nearly 1M pre-paid subscribers that have materialized out of the Sprint/ T-Mobile Boost divestiture as well as your more recent MVNO acquisitions. How will that factor into your development of discrete 5G services?

3. My coverage as an analyst includes XR (AR/VR) and the Metaverse. Beyond what we have seen from AT&T and Verizon in proofs-of-concept, do you envision any compelling applications on the enterprise side that can be brought to market soon?

4. This is a broad question, but do you envision any competitive advantage in deploying such a highly virtualized, cloud-native 5G network from the ground up? Will your competitors be at an agility disadvantage given their transition from traditional network architectures to new, highly disaggregated ones such as Open RAN?
