South Korea's government is looking to pump as much as US$1.5 billion into
developing 5G based mobile networks.
The country's Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning said that it was
looking to develop and start trials of 5G services by 2017, with the expectation
that commercial services could start in 2020.
The Ministry is now seeking input, and funding from the country's three
mobile networks, as well as the network infrastructure vendors to develop the
standards for the mobile service.
To a degree, the Ministry is simply pushing ahead a programme that already
exists at a number of companies that have already started thinking about what
lies beyond 4G services.
In recent weeks, the European Commission agreed to pump EUR700 million worth
of investment into 5G research, while ETSI has been discussing it at its latest
meeting.
