Wireless service will be capable of downloading full-length
films in a second, science ministry says
South Korea’s already impressive internet speeds are about
to pull even farther ahead of the rest of the world with plans to introduce a
next-generation 5G wireless service capable of downloading full-length films in
a second.
The country’s science ministry said on Thursday it would
invest 1.6t won ($1.5bn) with local firms in the service, with a view to making
it commercially available by the end of the decade.
