통신 품질개선 기준 높이고 5G SA 평가지표 개발…이용자 체감 중심 강화

South Korea's government is fundamentally shifting telecommunications quality evaluation from speed-centric metrics toward actual user experience, with new assessment frameworks for 5G Standalone networks. This regulatory shift is critical because it directly measures real usage scenarios (streaming, video calls, web browsing) rather than theoretical bandwidth, incentivizing carriers to improve coverage in underserved areas. The expanded shared network infrastructure and targeted assessment of vulnerable regions represent a strategic move to bridge the urban-rural connectivity gap.
