Why FAST is more than \'free TV\'
FAST, short for Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV, is gaining attention as viewers tire of paying for multiple OTT subscriptions. Unlike on-demand services, FAST runs like traditional TV channels but is delivered over the internet and funded by advertising. Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics are expanding their services to boost device appeal, ad sales and viewing data. The government is also promoting K-FAST with AI dubbing to distribute K-content abroad.
