5G investments are high, but ROI is still under pressure. New revenue streams such as enterprise slicing, IoT roaming, and private network extensions are emerging, but they can't be monetized effectively using legacy roaming and billing frameworks. The path forward is a deliberate, phased transition: modernized signaling, 5G SA roaming maturity, SEPP deployment for secure interconnect, and a clearing and settlement evolution that adds BCE alongside TAP. Each step build readiness for 6G service models before 6G arrives. Swipe through for the foundation operators need to align now, and why monetization happens at clearing and settlement, not the network.
