Samsung to Buy 3 Generation Chipsets From
Qualcomm

Qualcomm Korea said yesterday that Samsung Electronics Co.
will use its MSM5200 chipsets and systems software for its
W-CDMA asynchronous IMT-2000 mobile telecommunications
products.

LG Electronics, Korea's second largest mobile phone
manufacturer, is also negotiating with Qualcomm to use the U.S.
company's parts in the making of its asynchronous IMT-2000
wireless phone.

The local industry is worried that local wireless phone
manufacturers will grow strongly dependent on Qualcomm in
third generation IMT-2000 wireless phones as they have already
built a strong reliance on Qualcomm parts in making cellular and
PCS phones, considered to be second generation mobile
communications technologies.

The two companies together account for more than 70 percent of
the local cellular phone market, and if both of them use
Qualcomm's parts, the foreign firm's control of the local mobile
phone market will become tighter.

At a parliamentary inspection last year, opposition Grand
National Party lawmaker Kim Hyung-o said local companies had
paid $651.77 million in royalties to foreign companies for
wireless phones and had spent $1.67 billion by last August to
import core chips for CDMA manufacturing.
