Communication equipment firms oppose
asynchronous mode for IMT-2000 service

¡¡While most candidates for IMT-2000 service licenses have
expressed their willingness to choose asynchronous technology,
communication equipment suppliers oppose that specification.
¡¡
¡¡The IMT-2000 consortia led by Korea Telecom, SK Telecom
and the LG Group intend to adopt asynchronous technology,
but government regulators have urged at least one of them to
choose synchronous technology.
¡¡
¡¡Under the situation, a senior official at Samsung Electronics
said communication equipment makers will have to pay royalties
for basic technologies related with asynchronous IMT-2000,
running from of 15 percent to 18 percent, which is much higher
than royalties for synchronous specification.
¡¡
¡¡Another official at a communication equipment company said
he expected a maximum royalty of 20 percent for asynchronous
technology, although it is held to be superior to synchronous
mode. He claimed that synchronous technology is the best
choice for Korea.
¡¡
¡¡Observers said Korean communication equipment makers will
lose their competitiveness in the global IMT-2000 system market
because they have virtually no patents for related technologies
that can be used as instruments for cross-licensing.
