Wireless Expected To Be 3/4 Of Korea's Telecom Biz By 2008
Wireless is big business in South Korea - but the latest predictions suggest that it's only going to continue taking business away from traditional wired telecom systems. In fact, by 2008, IDC Korea is predicting that 74% of telecom expenditures will be on wireless systems. In absolute terms, the amount of money flowing into wireline telecom systems is expected to remain constant, but wireless will continue to expand at about 20% per year. More evidence that any company is deluding itself, if it believes it can remain in the wireline business without having a wireless play as well.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
