SUMMARY
As Korea entered the era of 2G mobile communications, it adopted a brand new
CDMA system suggested by the US government. The then uncommon CDMA system
became an intangible shelter for Korea's mobile communications industry while
turning it into a closed system. As they are now entering the 3G era, the
Korean government once again has aggressively pushed a self-developed
technology, WiBro, extending their fixed broadband network industry and
services into the realm of wireless broadband and vying for a say in the
formulation of 4G standards. The Korean government went on to propose the M1
Project in 2006 with the hope of becoming the leader in the global wireless
broadband industry by 2010. This report analyzes Korea's wireless broadband
policies, and examines current and future industry developments.
