SEOUL, November 26 (AJP) - KT said on Wednesday it has signed a memorandum of understanding with DigitalBridge, a U.S.-based digital infrastructure investment firm, to collaborate on the development and operation of AI data centers in South Korea.
The agreement was signed on Nov. 25 at KT’s headquarters in Seoul.
