TAESUNG FREEDOM VILLAGE, South Korea: South Korean mobile carrier KT Corp said on June 27 it launched 5G services in one of the world's most heavily armed border zones separating the two Koreas.

The next generation technology is available in Taesung Freedom Village – a South Korean community in the 4-km (2.5-mile) wide Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea that former US President Bill Clinton once called "the scariest place on Earth".
