A proposal has emerged to use Samsung and LG smart TVs already deployed worldwide as infrastructure to distribute Korean content globally. As plans to combine domestic streaming services into a single platform stall, free ad-supported streaming TV, or FAST, is gaining prominence. Speakers at a policy forum cited rapid growth forecasts for the global and domestic FAST markets and highlighted Korean TV makers\' large installed base. They also called for policy support, content localization funding and a unified control tower across ministries.

Korea Association for Information and Communication Technology Promotion (KAIT) said it launched a council with used device distributors to help revitalise the used device industry. The council will share industry trends, promote the sector and seek joint responses to difficulties faced by businesses. It will also work to improve and expand a certification programme for safe used-device traders and a service that confirms used-device transaction records, which the ministry and KAIT have operated since last May.
