Mobile carriers run special communications system for Chuseok holiday traffic surge

They are checking base station quality at major transport hubs and tourist sites in advance and will use AI-based control and 24-hour monitoring to respond to possible outages. SK Telecom, KT and LG Uplus also plan capacity upgrades, stronger security monitoring and early payments to partner companies.

Testing ChatGPT-6 Astra for tedious tasks from train tickets to account deletion
A reporter tested OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra on delayed web chores ranging from an OTT compensation claim and account deletion to bargain shopping and Chuseok train tickets. It could navigate sites, summarise conditions and complete multi-step forms, but logins, phone verification, CAPTCHAs and anti-macro blocks limited hands-free use. It performed well on checking National Assembly schedules and creating a GIF thumbnail, and it helped upload images and captions in a newsroom editing system.
