Competition in the mobile phone industry has entered a new phase as an increasing number of people use smartphones to enjoy access to the Internet, movies and games. The survival of mobile phone carriers now depends on their ability to provide high-speed transmission services, which are necessary to give full play to the functions of smartphones.

Both the government and the industry must make serious efforts to meet the needs of smartphone users.

Mobile phone service companies need to expand the areas where LTE (long-term evolution) — a high-speed communication standard that makes transmission of large-volume data easier — is used. They can do this by adding base stations or improving them. Otherwise, congestion will occur, reducing transmission speed.
