Asia Pacific Telecom Co (亞太電信) is looking to have 20 percent of its subscribers on 5G by the end of the year to catch up to its peers, it said yesterday.
“Most local telecoms aim to shift 20 percent of their users to 5G this year,” company president Huang Nan-ren (黃南仁) told a media briefing after the company’s extraordinary shareholders’ meeting.
