    SINGAPORE cannot be happy just building towers when it comes to fifth-generation - or 5G - mobile technology, said Minister for Communications and Information S Iswaran.

    To that end, the government has pledged an initial S$40 million to fund research and innovation in uses for 5G, which he has dubbed the "key digital infrastructure of tomorrow".
