Korea Telecom, IBM in Internet alliance

SEOUL, Jan 10 (Reuters) - South Korea's state-run Korea Telecom Co said on Monday it
had formed a strategic alliance with International Business Machines Corp (IBM) to
cooperate in Internet-related business.

IBM will provide help in terms of software, hardware and other technical resources required for Korea Telecom's expanded
Internet business operations but did not disclose financial terms, a Korea Telecom official said.

The Korean telecommunications giant said in a statement the alliance would help it in building a mammoth Internet data centre in
Seoul for completion by 2003.

By the same time, Korea Telecom plans to build a network of Internet data centres in the country's six other major cities,
including Pusan, Kwangju, Taegu and Taejon.

The data centres are to provide customer service related to Internet use, the company said.

Bux,

What concerns me is that they will deploy GPRS and then move to WCDMA sometime in the future. Keep in mind that the purpose of the announcement is to convince Mannesman shareholders to vote for the merger. I doubt that the wireless data solution they propose will be based on a US standard. This will be a Europe leads the way in wireless again, sort of thing. Hope it sounds good for QCOM, but at least on the surface I bet it doesn't.
