SK Telecom, KT and LG Uplus are accelerating their efforts to enhance 5G partnerships with mobile vendors around the world – for example, by exporting network equipment and developing 5G-based content.

Since launching 5G services in April, achieving a world first, the mobile carriers are taking advantage of the high profile they gained on the global stage. Now they are hoping to move beyond the benefits they stand to gain from local mobile users in the oligopolistic telecom market.
