The first 5G phones from Apple and Google may only just be hitting the market, but that hasn't stopped those companies from working with others on developing what 6G might look like. 
As spotted by Mobile World Live, tech giants Apple, Google and LG have joined the industry group 'Next G Alliance,' whose goals include advancing 'North American global leadership over the 5G evolutionary path and 6G early development' and creating a 'Next G development roadmap that will promote a vibrant marketplace for 6G introduction, adoption and commercialization with North American innovation in mind.'
Other founding members of the group, which was created by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions, include US carriers AT&T, Verizon, US Cellular and T-Mobile as well as Charter Communications and Canadian carriers Bell and Telus. Microsoft, Samsung, Facebook, Cisco, Ericsson, Intel, Nokia and Qualcomm are all also founding members.
