Ericsson and Nokia face challenges with 6G rollout due to customer reluctance for major generational upgrades, with operators pushing for incremental improvements using multi-RAT spectrum sharing to deploy 6G alongside 5G. Telcos express concerns about potential issues mirroring past dynamic spectrum sharing problems from the 4G to 5G transition.
