Abstract: Purpose: To aim of the study was to analyze the impact of 5G technology on mobile internet usage in Japan. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: The rollout of 5G technology in Japan has led to a 35% increase in mobile internet usage, with users enjoying faster speeds and improved online experiences. This enhancement supports high-bandwidth applications like video streaming and gaming, and benefits businesses by facilitating remote work and innovative services such as augmented reality (AR) and the Internet of Things (IoT). However, substantial infrastructure investments are needed to ensure widespread coverage and reliability. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Diffusion of innovations theory, technology acceptance model (TAM) & network externalities theory may be used to anchor future studies on impact of 5G technology on mobile internet usage in Japan. Practically, businesses and mobile service providers in Japan can leverage 5G to develop and deploy innovative services such as augmented reality (AR) applications, real-time gaming experiences, and immersive virtual communication platforms. Policymakers can develop frameworks that facilitate fair competition among telecom operators while promoting investment in 5G infrastructure.
