South Korea is building a $1.5 billion 5G service that can download movies in a second


It may be the one of the most wired countries in the world – the most wired in fact when I last checked – but South Korea is not resting on its laurels. Now, they have launched this mega project that plans to roll out a next-gen 5G wireless service fast enough to download entire films at the snap of the fingers – in a second that is.

The announcement was made this week and put the figure required to realize the plan at a whopping $1.5 billion – USD. According to the South Korea science ministry, the 5G technology will be implemented within 6 years and will be about 1,000 times faster than the 4G services currently in use. And we thought 4G was superfast.
