South Korea’s broadcast association said it secured a 60 million won damages ruling against a YouTube channel that used 2024 parliamentary election exit poll results without permission. It said the decision affirms that the three terrestrial broadcasters hold the intellectual property rights to the data. The association criticised unauthorised citations by some outlets and said the ruling confirms such use violates the unfair competition law. It plans further legal action against media that breach citation rules for future elections.

KT said it has successfully verified AI-RAN on a commercial network in Seongnam. The technology, jointly developed with Samsung Electronics, analyses real-time data between base stations and devices to provide optimised network conditions for each user. Tests involving about 18,000 daily users showed fewer handover disruptions and improved cell-wide quality. KT and Samsung have worked on AI-RAN since 2023 and are advancing GPU-based development with Nvidia.
