17. How fast will Wibro be spreaded?

Firstly, WiBro service which has been commercialized in Korea for the first time globally, came to be able to expect up to royalty income about service operation technology and the core technology, needless to say associated equipment as well as terminal's world export through international standardization and globalization on the basis of domestic activation. For the purpose of WiBro market's early activation, KT plans to supply seamless wire/wireless integration service by connecting established business like Megapass, CDMA complementing WiBro while, at the same time, activating content as well as service markets and increasing consumers' service-use benefits by developing multimedia/convergence-model service and the core BM in priority.

In terms of global market, three countries, including Brazil, are planning a commercial service. And a number of countries are considering introducing the WiBro service, so the prospect for global dissemination of the WiBro service is very bright. WiBro will allow people on the road to remain hooked into the Web at the speed of the current fixed-line broadband through laptops or personal digital assistant-type terminals.
