Korean Telecoms split over choice of CDMA technology for new spectrum. Also, NTT is in here offering to buy part of SK and "give away" some of its technology.

Some of this discussion can be interpreted as an effort to escape Samsung's local monopoly over CDMA 95A, 95B, 95C, 1X MC equipment even though royaltes on W CDMA will be consiterably greater

SK, LG Telecom Prefer Asynchronous Mode as IMT-2000 Standard

hk.co.kr

SK and LG Telecoms said they support switching to
an asynchronous mode as the standard for
IMT-2000 while Korea Telecom hinted at
preference for a synchronous one.

``If the government allows companies to select
technology standards, SK Telecom will adopt an
asynchronous mode,'' an SK Telecom official said
Friday.

An LG official also said his company is sticking to
the adoption of an asynchronous mode if it is
allowed to select its own standard.

Korea Telecom, however, recently implied that it
prefers a synchronous mode, saying it will adopt
``the standard which is helpful for the country.''

As the government prefers a synchronous mode,
Korea Telecom's comments are interpreted to
mean it will tow the party line.
