Seoul pushing for domestic production of CDMA parts
The government is pushing to have all the parts that are used in CDMA (code division multiple access) wireless handsets and ADSL (asymmetric digital subscriber line) systems produced domestically.

Announcing the plan, which envisions 100 percent domestic production of CDMA and ADSL parts by the end of next June, the Ministry of Information and Communication said it was prompted to take action by the steep increase in parts for mobile communication devices which are taking a heavy toll on the nation's trade balance.

Qualcomm's 3G technology faces uncertain future in Korea
Korea was the first country to rollout CDMA (code division multiple access)-based commercial wireless service back in 1996. However, more than four years later, cdma2000, third generation mobile telecom technology evolving from the second generation CDMA technology, cdmaOne, is becoming harder to sell to Korean operators.

Even SK Telecom which was the first operator to launch CDMA service recently declared it would jump ship and adopt W-CDMA (wideband code division multiple access) for the upcoming 3G service, also known as IMT-2000 service, abandoning what had been its pet project.
