[Digital Times, Kang Eun-seong] CEOs of three mobile carriers are leading the 5G build competition, and they are showing competition from the beginning of 5G facility investment. KT has reorganized its organization on May 15, and the competition for pride among the three companies is getting into full swing as a new organization is established to commercialize 5G.
According to the telecom industry on December 17, the three mobile carriers are expected tol start full-fledged investment in 5G facilities with the reorganization. Until now, most of the 5G strategies of the three telecom companies were at the research level, including pilot services and business model development. However, with the completion of a dedicated organization, frequency allocation has begun, and the company has entered into full-fledged implementation of 5G network commercialization and nationwide network construction.
An agency representative said, "The dedicated organization will be directly responsible for allocating the next year`s frequency," he said. "Since allocation of the 5G spectrum may have some adjustments due to frequency allocation, "He said.
The chief executives of each company strongly influenced the expansion of 3G`s 5G dedicated organization.
In the case of LG U Plus, which has a dedicated organization, Kwon Young-soo, vice chairman of LG U +, said that he was the first to directly lead the new organization as the 5G story about KT`s PyeongChang Olympic Games is on the line, and SK Telecom`s 5G related reports on artificial intelligence and autonomous driving cars continue, Kwon told the executives at the meeting that " "I do not want to be outdone," he said strongly. Since then, LG U + has been the first to set up a dedicated 5G organization and is continuing its press release and media events to focus on `issue reading`.
SK Telecom is also putting a lot of effort into the 5G dedicated organization under the leadership of Park Jeong-ho. In particular, SK Telecom plans to devote "total power" to the same situation to prevent the same situation from happening again in the 5G deployment related to the deprivation of `the first` title by LG Uplus in the past 4G LTE deployment.
Although KT was the slowest to establish a dedicated organization, it is the only issue at the time of organizational restructuring, and it is the most active among the three companies. Hwang Chang-gyu, chairman of KT, plans to secure the 5G initiative through the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. Although the 5G pilot service was originally expected to be available at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, KT developed the 5G standard, which has not been enacted by 3GPP, an international telecommunication standard organization, with Samsung Electronics and Intel as "Pyeongchang (SIG) The world`s first 5G pilot service.
"The competition for 5G is the same as the establishment of the 4th Industrial Revolution" highway, "said Young Min, Minister of Science and Technology, Ministry of Information and Communication." The intense competition of telecom companies provides high-quality telecommunications services to users and it is a synergistic effect that accelerates the global 5G initiative by more than two years.
