From: q_long on the Buy Range Thursday, Sep 21, 2000 4:01 PM ET SEOUL, Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 21, 2000--Hyundai Electronics Industries Co., Ltd. announced that it will supply Korea Telecom Freetel (KT Freetel) with Interim Standard (IS)-95C system equipment, a next-generation mobile telecommunications service that supports data transmission at 144Kbps. According to the terms of the contract, the equipment that Hyundai will deliver to KT Freetel is valued at 120 billion won (US$ 110 million) and will include switches, base stations, cell controllers, and a high-speed packet data network. A Hyundai spokesperson said that the IS-95C system is based on Hyundai's world-class Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology, and is able to support data transmission at speeds of up to 153.6Kbps. The system is backward-compatible with cellular and Personal Communications Service (PCS) systems currently in use, and is designed to minimize core modules so as to facilitate easy migration to the IMT-2000 system. Thus, the capacity and volume of the IS-95C system is expected to maximize the cost effectiveness of the overall mobile telecommunications service. KT Freetel will start its IS-95C service in Korean metropolitan areas and major cities this October, and expects to have a nationwide system network established in Korea by next year. In preparation for the launch of commercial service, KT Freetel successfully completed operational testing of a trial IS-95C system at its research center on September 1 of this year. siliconinvestor.com Ö¿Ö

Another IBD tidbit: Aside from the Accumulation/Distribution ratings that IBD assigns to each stock, they also have ratings for markets. Today, the NASDAQ was raised from a "B" to a "B+". It has not been that high in a long time, and it is not that long ago that it made it back to the B range. On the other hand the S&P 500 was dropped from a C to a C-, while the Dow held steady with a D-. StockHawk
