Mobile carriers in South Korea are stepping up their efforts to establish a joint mobile application market to challenge Google’s Play Store and Apple’s App Store.

KT, LG Uplus and SK Telecom’s subsidiary SK Planet said they had held a meeting with mobile app developers to discuss the “One Store project.”

The mobile subscribers of all carriers can download the apps from one market, called the One Store, which will open in May.
