Chin also said the ministry would map out a specific plan to license the 2.3 GHz mobile Internet spectrum for wireless Internet services. In addition, the ministry is reviewing the possibility of utilizing the IMT-2000 Time Division Duplex spectrum, which is not actively being used by carriers, for 2.3 GHz services.

By allocating the IMT-2000 TDD spectrum to 2.3 GHz services, the ministry expects to increase the number of potential licensees to four, up from the current two. The so-called next-generation mobile Internet based on 2.3 GHz technology will be commercialized in 2005.


The 2.3GHz band is where Flarion and a few others are being trialed, it appeared earlier Korea was trying to establish a standard for modem-type access in that band and then push it out to the world. I even detected hints from Sprint that they were looking at this type of solution for the related spectrum Sprint(FON) owns, they called it next gen something-or-other and the timeframes coincided. I'm not sure I understand exactly what the article is saying about spectrum bands and technologies.

Anyone?
