(Good Morning Vietnam Media) Even in the 5G market, it is expected that the price competitiveness will be strengthened by making affordable phone operators inexpensive and various rate plans.
The Ministry of Science, ICT and ICT announced on the 1st that inexpensive phone operators are also releasing various rate plans in the 5G market.
The Ministry of Science and ICT has continuously reduced the wholesale price to revitalize affordable phones. In January, 5G was designated as a mandatory wholesale service, creating an environment in which affordable phone operators can independently design 5G mid-to-low price plans.
In addition, it supported the strengthening of 5G rate competitiveness for affordable phones by providing wholesale 5G plans with more than 110GB provided to users at 60-63% of retail rates.
First, it supports the launch of its own 5G plan for affordable phones.
From April to May this year, 10 affordable phone operators will independently launch a variety of plans for small and medium-sized sections under 40,000 won for 30GB and 30,000 won for 12GB or less.
This is the first time in the case of 5G by designing an independent rate plan for affordable phones through the reduction of the volume-based wholesale price this year, it is expected that competition in the 5G market will be promoted in earnest.
Meanwhile, mobile carrier affiliates plan to release this rate plan from July, delaying 3-4 months in terms of win-win development between small and medium-sized businesses.
It also expands the wholesale provision of 5G service providers and cuts the wholesale price.
The 12~150GB section of mobile carriers will be offered wholesale to affordable phones within two quarters, and the wholesale price will be set at 63% or less, allowing them to launch various affordable phone plans that are 30% cheaper than mobile carriers.
In addition, LG Uplus will support the competitiveness of small and medium-sized low-cost phone operators by renewing the conditions for’activating affordable phones’ imposed upon approval of CJ Hello’s acquisition of CJ Hello.
To this end, when a low-cost phone service provider configures its own plan, the data pre-purchase system application section is subdivided to discount the wholesale price if a certain amount of data is purchased in advance, so that small and medium-sized businesses with low data usage and data-only IoT providers can also receive the discount. .
In addition, by supporting sales and promotional activity expenses for small and medium-sized businesses, small and medium-sized businesses can reduce cost burdens while reducing rates and securing marketing capacity.
Along with this, we are expanding the discount benefits of discount cards exclusively for affordable phones, launched in partnership with Kookmin Card last year, and promoting the launch of discount cards exclusively for affordable phones by Lotte Card.
Affordable phone 5G plans and exclusive discount cards to be released this time will be reflected in Affordable Phone Hub (Affordable Phone.kr), a comprehensive portal for affordable phones, so that affordable phone users can compare, search and sign up for 5G customized rate plans and receive affiliate card benefits. I plan to apply.
The policy manager of the Ministry of Science and ICT said,’Even in the 5G market, it is time for affordable phone operators to form a variety of low-cost rate plans to enter the competition in earnest. It is expected that the burden of household communication expenses will also be reduced.’
