South Korea launches 5G networks early to secure world first Tuesday April 02,2019


 South Korea launched the world’s first nationwide 5G mobile networks two days early, its top mobile carriers said on Thursday April 04,2019, in a late-night scramble to be the first providers of the super-fast wireless technology.

Three top telecom providers—SK Telecom, KT, and LG Uplus—began their 5G services at 11 pm local time on Wednesday, despite previously announcing the launch date would be April 5.

Hyper-wired South Korea has long had a reputation for technical prowess, and Seoul had made the 5G rollout a priority as it seeks to stimulate stuttering economic growth.

For general customers, the services will be available from Friday April 05,2019 —the previous launch date—when Samsung Electronics rolls out the Galaxy S10 5G, the world’s first available smartphone using the technology.
