IMT-2000 Approval Relaxed to Encourage CDMA Application
The Ministry of Information and Communication is reportedly considering ways to relax approval procedures for IMT-2000 licensing so that applicants, who must indicate a preferred technical standard at the time of application for licensing, can switch technical standards if necessary after their applications are approved. Industry observers say the point of such a move by the ministry is likely to convince one of the three major contenders for licensing, Korea Telecom, the SK Group and the LG Group, to opt for the synchronous CDMA-2000 standard which is currently in wide use both domestically and in the U.S., with the aim of momentarily appeasing local equipment manufacturers, who have already invested huge amounts of money into asynchronous technology. The other option, W-CDMA, which is asynchronous, is popular in Europe.
