<< You also suggested that I was misleading with my report of 6 million 1x users in Korea. >>

No.

I said that 4.2 million or so are using 1xRTT to chug along at the 60 to 80 kbps data rates you talked about.

SKT is counting every individual with a 1xRTT handset as a 1XRTT sub, whether or not they use data services (and upwards of 70% of their subs use data services).

That is perfectly legitimate.

1xRTT is a voice and data technology.

Now I guess TIM (let's say) could count every one of the million or so subs they have using GPRS handsets as a GPRS sub, whether or not they use GPRS data services ...

... particularly if they do not require a subscription for GPRS services ...

... but maybe that isn't kosher because after all GPRS is a data bearer.

There are all sorts of permutations of this and as a consequence it may be darned difficult to get a handle on just how many "GPRS" subs or for that matter how many "1xRTT" subs there are.

Korea has a uniform method of reporting this.

Not all carriers will.

... and this will drive the research houses batty.

That is the presentation I was referring to when I asked you the question:

Speaking of 3G [???] Today how come SKT calls 1xRTT 2.5G?
