DoCoMo pushing WCDMA as an international standard quote.bloomberg.com Technology News Sat, 27 May 2000, 11:50am EDT DoCoMo Seeks 10% of Korea's SK Telecom, People Say (Update1) By Ian King Seoul, May 27 (Bloomberg) -- NTT DoCoMo Inc., Japan's largest mobile phone company, is in talks to buy as much as 10 percent of SK Telecom Co. to gain access to Korea's 26 million cellular subscribers and extend operations in Asia, people familiar with Korea's No. 1 cellular phone provider said. . . . A stake in SK Telecom fits with NTT's strategy of taking minority holdings in other mobile carriers as it seeks to expand outside Japan. DoCoMo and rivals worldwide are rushing to prepare for the introduction next year of technology that allows users to make phone calls from the same handset anywhere in the world. DoCoMo has said the primary purpose of its foreign alliances is to promote its wideband code division multiple access standard, a technology which will provide handset owners with the ability to receive streaming video and to access the Internet at data transmission rates several times faster than with today's technology. DoCoMo, which developed W-CDMA in cooperation with Sweden's Ericsson AB and Finland's Nokia Oyj, now needs partners to ensure its adoption as an industry standard. . . . The Tokyo-based company said it may try to buy a stake in Orange PLC to enter the much bigger U.K. market. Orange, the No. 3 U.K. cellular company, must be sold by Vodafone AirTouch Plc to secure regulatory approval for its $161 billion takeover of Germany's Mannesmann AG.
