Market Intelligence & Consulting Institute (MIC) [a division of Institute for Information Industry (III)], July 2007
After two trials of WiBro services, conducted by KT and SKT in March and May of 2006 respectively, Koreas WiBro services went commercial on June 30, 2006. After running commercial WiBro services approximately one year, network coverage is still low and inadequate; WiBro lacks terminal devices and killer applications and has an unclear service positioning. These factors have hampered WiBros initial development. This report will analyze the development of Koreas commercial WiBro services and the bottlenecks that have been encountered during initial stages.
