I'm Korean and it I am personally worried the health of Korean tech companies.
Korea claimed to be the first country to start 5G but who wanted 5G so fast? The Korean government wanted it. The government set the goal to become the first, then pushed (I would say "ordered") the all three mobile operators to launch 5G, and the three operators launched it at the same time first in the world. In other words, the government artificially made the demands for 5G base stations only for Samsung.
Samsung has grown in this way. It is now the one of the well-kwon companies in the world and this single company earns around 15% of Gross Domestic Product of Korea. Samsung is big enough and can service without being fed by the government. I doubt the government-driven tech development would work forever.
You know what, there is no IPv6 available in Korea yet. Something doesn't sound right to me.
