SK To Launch Global Cellphone

SK Telecom is preparing to launch its new global cellular
phone service "Iridium Service" on Nov. 1. The company
claims the satellite linked service will enable users to
make calls 24 hours a day 365 days per year anywhere in
the world be it the Arctic, Antarctica, desert, or the
amazon jungle. SK Telecom expects the iridium service to
be popular with businessmen travelling overseas and said
that it has already received about 600 subscriptions.
Prospective users will have to pay a W300,000 sign up
fee and W400,000 insurance as well as W5 million to
purchase the 'iridium' handset. Basic user charges will be
US$1.44 per minute for domestic calls and between
US$4-6 for international calls.

To all - this ...Telekom Srbija, the second Serbian GSM network, has only five customers ...

reminds me of something silly I used to hear around 1986, when American Motors was still an independent manufacturer of cars -- whenever the "10 day auto sales figures" came out, someone I used to work with said "and American Motors : 2 blue ones and 1 green one."
