South Korea to cut wholesale mobile rates, spectrum fees to boost budget carriers
South Korea will expand wholesale mobile plans offered by telecom operators and cut wholesale charges to strengthen the price competitiveness of budget mobile carriers, the Ministry of Science and ICT said. It will also raise spectrum fee reductions for smaller operators to 90 percent and widen the provision of data options. The government plans to support access to mid- and low-priced handsets, promote eSIM activation and review competition conditions later this year.
