Photo: Koreabizwire According to the ministry above, carriers include SK Telecom Co., KT Corp. and LG Uplus Corp. signed an agreement so that 5G users could access the high-speed network of any other service provider they registered in 131 remote locations across South Korea. Accordingly, 5G users will be able to use another carrier’s network in places where their service provider does not have coverage. The Ministry of Science and ICT said telecom carriers will test network sharing systems before the end of the year and aim to fully phased in by 2024. Remote areas selected to provide 5G network sharing are sparsely populated, with a population density of 92 people / km2, while areas that do not share 5G networks have a population density of 3,490. person / km2. The move to share 5G networks comes as South Korea is racing to establish 5G coverage nationwide, with network equipment currently installed in major cities. In July 2020, the three major South Korean carriers pledged to invest up to 25,700 billion won (23.02 billion USD) to upgrade the network infrastructure by 2020. As of February 2021, South Korea has 13.66 million 5G subscribers, accounting for about 19% of the country’s total mobile network subscribers. South Korea was the first country in the world to commercialize 5G networks in April 2019.

But this is not the case. “Although we cannot speak on behalf of CCMI, and did not officially announce a specific date for the launch of this service, Synchronoss is still continuing to make preparations and looking forward to helping bring RCS-based messaging services to American users.” Synchronoss recently responded to Light. Said when reading the question. Verizon’s answer is more blunt: “The owners of CCMI decided to terminate the joint venture. However, we owners are still committed to enhancing the user’s messaging service experience, including increasing the availability of RCS.” The operator in a statement Write. This development is indeed not surprising. GlobalData analyst Lynnette Luna told Light Reading: “The RCS market has been developing very slowly in the past ten years.” Lynnette Luna wrote a report on the US RCS market in June 2020 and has not been updated since. RCS first appeared more than ten years ago, when GSMA marketed the technology under the Joyn brand. They hope that operators such as Vodafone and Verizon can use RCS to create a variety of interoperable multimedia features, similar to Facebook’s WhatsApp. Although the technology has gained a certain market appeal in certain regions such as Japan, it is still unpopular in the US market. In response to Light Reading’s question, T-Mobile said: “We are committed to providing RCS interoperability and are working with other vendors to achieve this goal. T-Mobile users using Android devices can currently enjoy RCS through our network. Messaging services can also communicate with many other users around the world through RCS messaging through interoperability with Google.” In fact, since the establishment of CCMI in 2019, T-Mobile may be the only U.S. operator to speak out in terms of RCS. The operator first launched RCS in 2015 with supplier Mavenir. In 2020, T-Mobile announced that it had reached an agreement with Google to provide RCS services to its Metro by T-Mobile prepaid subscribers. Then, in March 2021, T-Mobile said that it had reached an agreement with Google that Google Messages will become the default messaging service application on all its Android devices. According to people familiar with the matter, T-Mobile’s move is aimed at eliminating mobile-specific messaging service clients, such as Samsung Message. The Google Messages application will still be connected to T-Mobile’s RCS service operated by Mavenir. Considering that T-Mobile US will account for 40% of Mavenir’s revenue in 2020, this is worth noting. “The recently announced cooperation between T-Mobile and Google is good news for the adoption of RCS and its integration as the next-generation mobile messaging service standard. By adding support for Android Message, T-Mobile does not need to rely on The updated roadmap of smartphone manufacturers has expanded the range of users and added more RCS users to its network. This is also good news for Mavenir to expand its RCS development footprint in the United States, because the three major mobile network operators are in their networks Mavenir’s RCS technology is used in the “Mavenir” said the person in charge of Mavenir’s RCS in a statement. The person in charge continued: “The major mobile network operators in the United States have completed or are completing RCS interconnection with each other and interconnection with other RCS users around the world. It is expected that RCS services from different mobile operators will be available in the future. The announcement shows that RCS has become a reality and will continue to develop.” GlobalData analyst Lynnette Luna explained that Google continues to promote the development of RCS in the United States and elsewhere in the hope that it can profit from B2C advertising. Considering the performance of such services in Japan and other countries, this is not surprising. According to Synchronoss data, Japanese consumers have an open rate of 85% of RCS messages and a click rate of 60%-which is much higher than the 0.001% click rate of users on mobile banner ads. Lynnette Luna said: “RCS is really important to Google.” She said that although the development of RCS services in the United States and other places has suffered from “the chicken or the egg problem”-that is, the operator does not support this. The service is because the customer does not use the service, and vice versa. Of course, another major development obstacle facing RCS is: iPhone maker Apple does not support RCS services, and Apple occupies nearly half of the US smartphone market. Lynnette Luna said, “This has always been the Achilles heel of RCS.” But she also said that this service may be promoted by 5G, which requires operators to deploy IMS technology, which makes RCS interoperability easier to achieve. However, Lynnette Luna does not have much hope for U.S. operators such as T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T to vigorously promote the development of RCS. These operators are currently actively expanding their 5G networks. Indeed, AT&T did not even respond to Light Reading’s questions about the development of its RCS. C114 Communication Network Ace

A scam app gang in Shanghai was smashed

The Shanghai police recently successfully smashed a criminal gang that provided technical services to telecommunications network fraud gangs. This is also the most comprehensive professional production and sales fraud APP criminal gang in Shanghai in recent years. In September last year, Shanghai Changning police received a report that a citizen was defrauded of 115,000 yuan in an investment app called “New Year’s Dance”. After sorting out the information, the police locked a criminal network that used false foreign exchange trading platforms to solicit “agents” to commit fraud. After further analyzing the background data, the police found another important clue.

Tan Siwei, a policeman from the Anti-fraud Division of the Criminal Investigation Division of Shanghai Changning Public Security Bureau: We have seen a large number of 24-hour uninterrupted logins, of which one IP address is concentrated in our Shanghai city.

Through reverse tracking, the police finally locked an information technology company. After investigation, this company produced more than 50 fraudulent apps including “New Year’s Dance”, installed more than 12,000 devices, and the amount involved exceeded 100 million yuan. The police subsequently closed the net in Shanghai, Guangdong, Anhui and other places and arrested more than 110 suspects. In March of this year, 70 criminal suspects were transferred to the procuratorial organ for prosecution in accordance with the law.

Qian Jun, deputy head of the Criminal Investigation Division of Shanghai Changning Public Security Bureau: The core of all APPs is an investment trading platform. According to the needs of fraudsters, on the surface, normal market data such as foreign exchange, futures, stock market, and precious metals can be quoted separately, but in the trading link, The company was given the right to modify the data at any time by the fraud group to achieve the purpose of fraud.

Scammers use multiple social platforms to spread fraudulent apps

According to the police, at present, all kinds of fraudulent apps such as making friends, swiping orders, and shopping have become an indispensable link in the criminal chain of telecommunications network fraud. In particular, fraudulent apps such as foreign exchange transactions that can change data at will have become a support for investment and financial management. An important accomplice of fraud. Criminals will deliberately let the victim download these apps.

Police Officer Zhuang Liqiang from the Spokesperson’s Office of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau: These fraudulent apps are generally spread in forums, chat tools, and text messages through short links, QR codes, and other methods.

National Anti-Fraud Center: Over 60% of Internet frauds involve fraudulent apps from January to March

According to the National Anti-Fraud Center, from January to March, more than 220,000 telecommunications network fraud cases occurred nationwide, with losses reaching more than 18.5 billion. Among them, more than 60% of them used APP to implement fraud.

Chen Minjie, National Anti-Fraud Center: This kind of app that commits crimes is generally not available on the regular app market. The functions are relatively simple and the production is relatively rough. Judging from the current combat situation, many criminal gangs can easily package it from a website involved. An APP, the cost is very low. So when we download the APP in the future, try to download it from a regular website.

Knowing that criminal gangs use APP to commit crimes, but still provide technical support, these fake APP gangs have violated the criminal law.

Chen Minjie, National Anti-fraud Center: APP download can be downloaded and installed with just one link. In the next step, our public security organs will work with industry and internet information departments to further strengthen the rectification of APP.

Anti-fraud and anti-fraud National Anti-fraud Center APP launched

In addition, the National Anti-fraud Center APP, organized and developed by the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, has recently been launched nationwide, and will be further optimized in the future.

It can also report various fraud information to the platform at any time. Greatly reduce the possibility of users being deceived.
