It does seem early for technologists and researchers to be talking about 6G, as 5G has just begun commercial deployment. But mobile generations are launched every decade, and history suggests the development process actually does take 10 years or more. It took 15 to 17 years for 2G to be developed and commercialized.
Both 3G and 4G took 10 to 17 years, as did key applications enabled by 2G, 3G and 4G. Similarly, early work on 5G began about 2008.
It does seem early to be thinking or working on 6G. But, based on history, that is not unusual at all.
