이통사, 통합요금제 맞춰 온라인 요금제 20~50% 줄인다

South Korean telecom carriers are consolidating their online-only plan portfolios by 20-50% as they launch unified 5G/LTE convergence plans, signaling a strategic shift toward product simplification. This reflects eroding competitive advantages for low-cost online plans due to increased offline subsidies following deregulation (단통법 폐지) and intensified competition from MVNOs. The move toward transparent, simple pricing models—focused on monthly fee and data allocation—prioritizes customer clarity and operational efficiency over maintaining broad, overlapping product inventories.
