5G is the fifth-generation technology of mobile internet connection, which provides much faster data transmission speed. Public opinion is divided on making a trade-off between its social benefits and health risks with better public policies. ISTP Director Prof. Thomas Bernauer, Dr. Lukas Rudolph, and Franziska Quoss from the Internatioal Political Economy and Environmental Politics group of ETH Zurich introduced their latest research on Swiss residents' perception of this new technology. The most recent Swiss Environmental Panel (SEP) dataset was analysed with multiple methods and confirmed the existence of a NIMBY (not in my backyard) phenomenon with 5G.
