“KT are expected to start mobile network business by itself with its Wibro network. If KT will provide mobile network business with Wibro, the cost will be cheaper than other MNOs’ operating cost. KCC decided to assign the remaining frequency for Wibro, 2360 ~ 2400 MHz, to new operator preferentially. KCC is also considering to assign 2.5 GHz to new Wibro operator. Due to this, Cable TV operator and other company could begin mobile network business through Wibro.

Today, KCC will allow to use 010 access code, mobile phone
prefix in Korea, for Wibro operator. That means Wibro operators can provide mobile network service like existing MNOs. If more companies are coming with Wibro network, more various mobile services would be available for Korean customers.”

This the latest issue on Korean Insight, Wibro(Wireless Broadband) as far as we know, it is a Wireless technology developed by South Korean Telecom industries as an implementation of mobile WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e). Until now, there are only 200,000 subscribers since its launching in 2006. While on the go the Korea Communication Commission (KCC), has approved Voice over WiBro starting next year. More likely this application same as VOIP(Voive over IP) [3Gweek]
