Large‐scale financial operations could further stress already congested communication networks, which will struggle to guarantee low‐latency connectivity with very high degrees of reliability. For example, for HFT, latency requirements should be in the order of sub‐millisecond (a 1‐millisecond advantage in trading applications may be worth $100 million a year to a major brokerage firm, according to some estimates [11]), in contrast to the more relaxed (though already challenging) 1 ms 5G target. For blockchain operations, in turn, security, as well as energy consumption, will be key concerns. Finally, digitalization in the financial industry and the introduction of artificial‐intelligence‐based procedures will result in very large amounts of data to be exchanged and processed, which will likely saturate 5G capacity: the per‐user data rate may need to reach the Gbps range, at least one order of magnitude up from the 100 Mbps of 5G.
2.4 Conclusions
In this chapter, we analyzed possible business‐oriented use cases, scenarios, and relative KPIs for future 6G networks, as summarized in Figure 2.1. Notably, even though the market verticals we presented have been already considered in 4G and 5G networks, we focused on applications of these verticals that would not be supported by 5G networks in terms of (often combined) throughput, latency, coverage, and reliability requirements. After a brief introduction, we discussed the importance of services that (i) enable remote presence or inspection with high fidelity, including sensory information (teleportation, digital twin); (ii) globally connect goods, vehicles, and machines (Smart‐X IoT, smart transportation and industry); and (iii) provide secure continuous connectivity for critical information (remote healthcare interventions, PS, financial world). We believe that this chapter can provide a basis for a requirement‐driven development of future 6G networks, to enable key digital services for the connected society of 2030 and beyond.

3.1 Introduction
Historically, standardization has been fundamental to the success of each new generation – or “G” – of mobile network technology. It is the process through which we arrive at a set – or sets – of replicable guidelines governing technology, interoperability, and performance for a specific technology that realizes specific technical goals and that enables commercial delivery and operation, from a diverse community of providers.
This success is clear. There are now more than 5 billion mobile people using different generations of network technology, while the industry contributed more than $4 trillion to the global economy in 2019 [1]. In addition, millions more devices are connected via these networks, serving a wide range of Internet of Things (IoT) and machine‐to‐machine (M2M) applications.
For recent “Gs,” a broadly similar process has been followed, which has resulted in the release of standards, which can be adopted and followed by industry stakeholders. These standards provide templates that enable participants to contribute and to develop the solutions required to build a new network.
However, there are a number of factors that suggest the path to 6G may diverge from the most recent path taken to the delivery of a global standard. First, there are historic precedents that highlight alternative paths to realizing the common СКАЧАТЬ
