A UK-wide 5G project is aiming to improve peoples' lives through the use of the technology. It was recently announced that the United Kingdom is pledging £28 million to trial various implications of 5G -- all of which are aimed at bettering the lives of everyday people.
This investment will support nine unique projects that span a variety of British industries. In an effort to give consumers a break from the pandemic, Sir. David Attenborough will utilize 5G to show people the wonders of the natural world. Meanwhile, an augmented reality app will leverage 5G to stream a 'holographic' video to accompany the launch of a new BBC series. It has also been announced that this project will use 5G to improve tourism attractions such as Cornwall's Eden Project.

Industry Implications
1. Tourism - The tourism sector has much to gain from the integration of 5G technology into attractions, providing a more immersive and accessible experience to customers.
2. Advertising - AR could potentially revolutionize the advertising industry to create more interactive and immersive experiences for customers through 5G-supported apps.
3. Education - With remote learning becoming more necessary in the pandemic era, investing in 5G infrastructure in education can promote remote learning options that are reliable and effective.
