The Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning on Tuesday convened a meeting of a consultative body to mull strategies regarding fifth generation (5G) mobile networks.
 
The third of its kind to be held, the meeting focused on ways for the government and the private sector to cooperate in order for South Korea to lead the global market in 5G mobile networks.  
 
Participants looked over a plan to provide 5G service on a trial basis at the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympic Games. They also reviewed plans and strategies to commercialize 5G services by 2020.
 
They also decided to set up three subcommittees under the consultative body, including a subcommittee on creating standards for technology development.
