However, nowadays advent of "smart" era brought by ground-breaking development of communication system makes informal data to dominate overall data, such 80% in total. Therefore, conventional method using formal data as establishing predicting model would be untrustworthy means in present. In other words, it is indispensible to make prediction model credible including informal data(SNS, image, video) and semi-formal data(log data).

The fire incident of KT's Ahyun branch occurred last year indicates that hyper-connected society led by 5G technology would be a dystopia instead of a utopia unless seamless connection of 5G service is well secured. Looking backward on 1999, we could peacefully and happily greet the new millennium by making a great effort to prevent the millennium bugs(Y2K) from causing the catastrophe such as a shut-down of banking system. Likewise, we should make a great effort to keep 5G networks and 5G service continuously working without the disruption of even just a second, which would enable us to avoid facing any catastrophes caused by the disruption of 5G service. As a way to do so, it can be considered that 5G service is designated as universal service because it has the key features of public goods like telephone and high-speed internet services.
