RE:They are just trying to reduce outflow of dollars due to the royalties.

What I meant to say was, if phone retail prices are lower due to subsidies then more people will change their phones more frequently, thus higher royalty payments to Qualcomm. I am not sure how the subsidies work in Korea but it is conceivable people can switch between different carriers to receive new activation discount.
