On July 6, news agency Yonhap reported that KT plans to invest about 18 trillion won, or roughly $11.8 billion, as part of its push to become an AI transformation platform company. The plan includes 12 trillion won for cybersecurity, IT and networks over three years, along with investments in AI data centers, submarine cables, 6G and satellite technologies. The telecom angle is direct because KT is tying its network base to higher-value digital infrastructure rather than treating connectivity as a stand-alone utility.
The scale of the plan also raises execution risk, since telecom operators have often struggled to earn attractive returns from new technology bets. For KT, the key issue is whether AI and network upgrades can add growth without diluting the cash-generation profile of its core telecom business.
