260,000 People Sign up for 5G Services

More than 260,000 people had signed up for 5G mobile phone services as of Monday, just 26 days after Korea became the world's first country to offer it, the Ministry of Science and ICT said Wednesday.

Korea launched 5G services on April 3.

KT now has around 105,000 subscribers, SK Telecom between 85,000 and 90,000 and LG Uplus between 65,000 and 70,000.

Industry watchers say KT got a solid start by being the first to offer unlimited data plans to 5G users.
