>> Non-CDMA Handsets Cash Cows for Exporters

Korea's export of non-CDMA mobile handsets is emerging as the nation's most lucrative export product.

The nation's leading handset makers, such as Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, Pantec and Saewon Telecom, have succeeded in striking deals to export large quantities of non-CDMA handsets based on Europe-centered Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and North America Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) standards.

Out of the total $7.4 billion in mobile handset exports by domestic firms last year, exports of GSM mobile sets accounted for a surprising $3.7 billion, despite that the Korea mobile market has fully converted to CDMA technology.

A high-ranking official at Samsung Electronics said Monday that the company has recently completed building a mass production system for the TDMA handsets, which is widely used in North and South America.

The official also said his company plans to ship two million TDMA handsets a year to countries in Central and South America, including Mexico and Brazil.

Samsung Electronics has already launched a GSM mobile set manufacturing plant in Spain. Exports of GSM handsets account for more than half of the firm's exports.

LG Electronics succeeded in exporting a large quantity of GSM mobile sets to Indonesia last month and plans to tap the Russian Market this month.

Pantec, a latecomer, expects to realize around W130 billion in exports for this year on GSM-based handsets.

Saewon Telecom has signed a contract to export 400,000 units of GSM handsets to China before the end of this year. The firm estimates it will sell over a million units in China next year. <<

Not just in practice, but also legally, one can have two
parents, sometimes even more.

But I'm happy that the evil has been identified, often
makes life easier for a while to believe one can pinpoint
it (Gent).

The most important words were, IMO, that "advantage of
international footprint", without even considering if
verizon should or shouldn't take advantage of it.

So maybe it is more realistic to put the evil pin on
"international footprints" although that demands
handling more factors than one person.
