"SK Telecom announced Thursday it will start a Video on Demand (VOD) service for its CDMA2000 mobile phone users from Friday".

Well.....

Perhaps the lowly 5000's and 5105's that everyone's pissing on aren't such slouches after all....

Seems rather unlikely that SK will provide services that profoundly frustrate or fail to function on handsets.....

Or perhaps they're rolling out horrific, disappointing services and handsets to help reduce their market share? <g>
