Total subscribers at Korea's big five mobile phone companies, including SK Telecom Co., Ltd., were estimated at 26.18 million persons at the end of July, down 1 million persons from the 27.32 million at the end of May Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the end of subsidies supposed to result in just a slowdown in sub growth? An outright decline in absolute figures was not forecast. And what about all the predictions of how the Korean carriers would creatively find ways to grow subscribers? Guess "free" was a lot easier sell than "300 dollars"...especially if that means a week's wages. Could there perhaps be even further cuts to QCOM's chipset sales?
