CDMA2000 1X EV-DO service launched in South Korea
By Cellular News

South Korea's SK Telecom launched the worlds first synchronized commercial 3G CDMA2000
1X EV-DO Service in Incheon City a couple of days ago. SK Telecom provided a pilot service
on November 17, 2001. The company plans to launch the service in Seoul in February, and
by the end of April initiate the service in 26 cities including Busan, Daegu, and Gwangju,
where the World Cup Football Games will be held. By the end of this year the commercial
service will be expanded to 81 cities.

The transmitting speed of 1x EV-DO service that SK Telecom introduced for the first time
in the world is a maximum 2.4Mbps. This is 16-fold faster than CDMA2000 1X whose
transmitting speed is 144Kbps.

4Mobility Analysis

Here is a peek of what is coming to the U.S. in 2003. I believe we will see 2.4 Mbps
service from Sprint PCS (and probably Verizon) next year in major markets. Since
cdma2000 1x EV-DO devices are backward compatible with cdma2000 1x service being
rolled out by Verizon and Sprint PCS this year, most subscribers will be able to use the 144-
and 288-kbps service nationwide and seamlessly switch to 2.4-Mbps in major cities and hot
spots.

This should worry the GSM/GPRS network operators in the U.S. They will be far behind
what the CDMA operators will be offering for wireless data service. I believe AT&T and
Cingular will collapse because of the capital costs to rollout their new GSM/GPRS networks.
If wireless data becomes a major profit center (I believe it will) the GSM/GPRS operators
will lose a second time because their wireless data services will not be competitive.
