KTF
May Not Be Ready With 3G WCDMA Launch |
|
20th January 2003 |
|
`At this time, we see an environment where faster mobile communication is really taking off, but these things take time,' stated KTF's chief executive officer Nam Joong-soo. Nam ( inset ) was promoted to CEO of KTF this month. He was instrumental in KT being awarded the WCDMA-based 3G licence back in 2000. It had previously been reported that both KT and SK Telecom have had to put back the launch of their so-called IMT-2000 3G services by about 10 months already. The introduction of this service may be the key for success in the battle for wireless supremacy in Korea. |
