If 5G is a race the US needs to win, why not run faster?
In the U.S., Verizon and AT&T have deployed 5G in parts of some cities. T-Mobile says it can offer nationwide service in the 2020 timeframe but that largely hinges on regulatory approval for a merger with rival Sprint.
Meanwhile, in Korea, KT is offering service in the Seoul metro area, most parts of more than 90 other cities, 70 large shopping malls and some 464 college campuses. SK Telecom is also offering what it refers to as “nationwide” coverage on the back of 34,000 5G base stations.
