    European Commissioner for the Digital Agenda Neelie Kroes has signed a landmark deal with South Korea’s Minister for Science Mun-Kee Choi to cooperate on winning the race to define fifth generation (5G) mobile standards.

    They also agreed on the need for harmonised radio spectrum to ensure global interoperability and on the preparation of global standards for 5G.

    The move comes just as many countries are mid-way through the rollout of fourth generation mobile services, promising broadband speeds of between 20Mbps and 120Mbps as well as freeing up old 2G spectrum to accommodate 3G.

    “5G will become the new lifeblood of the digital economy and digital society once it is established,” Kroes said.

    “Both Europe and Korea recognise this. This is the first time ever that public authorities have joined together in this way, with the support of private industry, to push forward the process of standardisation. Today’s declaration signals the our commitment to being global digital leaders.”

    Just wait for all the spanners on here saying its a shared service doomed to fail, Just like they diss over 4G despite it being fantastic here for me 5 miles from nearest mast.

    That's because there is no one using the service.

    It's very simple physics.
