   SK Telecom announced that a new price discount program for middle and high school students as well as college students. Students will pay 50 percent of regular price when they make a call to other students who are attend same school. Students should call to the customer center of SK Telecom and register the name of their school. After registering the name of school, they can save money whenever calling to friends in same school.

   Moreover, this discount program is applied simultaneously and together with other discount programs. For instance, most of college students are getting a discount benefit for using mobile phone in a specific region. If a student thinks that he usually use mobile voice services near his college, he can register the region and get discount benefits when using mobile services in the region.

   Although SK Telecom is a market leader and expect to attract many new students to its customers, KTF and LG Telecom announced that they did not prepared simmilar program in order to react SK Telecom's strategy.

Voice Service on WiBro (Mobile WiMAX) is Possible in Korea? :: 2008/08/02 18:25

   Korea Communication Commision requested in-depth research about voice service on WiBro to Korea Information Society Development Institute. WiBro was commercialized by KT and SKT in 2006, but WiBro was permitted for only data service, not voice service. Because voice service can not be provided on WiBro, call number for each WiBro device is not necessary until now.

   However, because KISDI started to investigate the long-term effects to the telecom industry of Korea if voice service is allowed on WiBro, new competition might be started on mobile industry of Korea. Real mobile services, including voice and data services, are only provided by mobile operators such as SK Telecom, KTF and LG Telecom. If voice service on WiBro is possible, KT can participate in the competition. KT has steadily insisted that voice service on WiBro be provided.
 
   If Korean Government permits the voice service on WiBro, will KT and SK Telecom start the service? I think it is not sure. There are two reasons.

   First, COVERAGE of WiBro!! Even if KT and SK Telecom commercialized WiBro service in 2006, the services only cover Seoul and near areas of Seoul. In addition, WiBro is well operated outdoor only. Indoor, the signal of WiBro is very weak. KT and SK Telecom should invest much money to strengthen the network coverage. Because the penetration rate of mobile voice service in Korea is already over 90 percent, it is not sure whether the operators make the huge investment on WiBro.

   Second, the merge of KT and KTF is expected within near future. Even if KT promotes WiBro service aggressively and wants voice service on WiBro in order to strengthen WiBro service now, KT might lose the driving force for voice service on WiBro after merging KTF. KT can provide mobile voice service through KTF without voice service on WiBro.

   I am wondering how KISDI will make the final decision about the voice service on WiBro. I will make a posting after announcement of the decision.

On-going Price Discount Pressure toward Mobile Operators :: 2008/06/17 20:49

   Last week, the Board of Audit and Inspection of Korea insisted that Korean mobile operators, SKT, KTF and LGT got unjustified profits of $870 mil from customers in 2007. However, mobile operators criticized that the Board of Audit and Inspection of Korea ignored the environment of Korean mobile industy, so that the profits of $870 mil were assumed as unjustified profits.

  The main point is that the mobile rates in Korea are calculated based on the usage per 10 seconds. (Usually, the mobile rates per 10 seconds are about 2 cents.)  The Board of Audit and Inspection of Korea pointed out that, even if a customer hang up at the time point of 11 seconds after starting the call, the customer should pay about 4 cents - the rates for 20 seconds. The Board of Audit and Inspection of Korea requested that mobile operators modify the scheme of mobile rates based on the usage per 1 second.

  However, mobile operators mentioned that the scheme of mobile rates is resonable compared with the scheme of other countries' mobile operators. For example, the mobile rates of US are calculated based on the usage per 1 minute and those of some European countries are calculated based on the usage per 30 seconds. In addition, mobile operators insited that they have lowered the rates for mobile data service and video call.

  Since last year, Korean government has continued to put pressure on mobile operators to lower rates. As a result, mobile operators started to offer "intra-network" discount package. The intra-network discount system gives 1 50-percent discount for inner-network calls. For example, if a customer pay additional $2 for the discount service, the customer get a 50-percent discount benefit when calling to other SKT's subscribers.

  Moreover, SKT started to offer "family price discount plan" without additional charge. If members of a family subscribe SKT's mobile service, the members can get discount benefit when calling to each other. The discount rates have variation based on the subscription period of members.

  Even if Korean mobile operators offer various discount options, government put pressure on mobile operators consistently. Some experts are pointing out that the pressure for price discount might make mobile operators decrease the investment because of the expense pressure and the investment reduction might hamper the growth of IT industry in Korea.

    When iPods hit the scene 10 years ago, the small, white earbuds that came with the devices became the symbol for listening to music on the go.Today, that's changing.More and more people are expressing themselves with pricey headphones, with some fashion-forward music lovers rocking updated versions of the oversize headsets popular in earlier erasBose has been known for its larger headphones, and now celebrities have taken note and aided in the resurgence of the ear amplifiers.
    <strong><a href="http://www.cheapmonsterbeatsus.com/Beats-by-Dr.-Dre-Studio-High-Definition-Headphones-black-p38.html">Beats by Dr. Dre Studio High-Definition Headphones

    black</a></strong> In 2008, Monster launched Beats by Dr. Dre with Dr. Dre, and it is the most recognizable of celebrity-branded headphones. Monster later released headphones with Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Diddy, Daft Punk, Nick Cannon and LeBron James.Big namesThis year, 50 Cent, Quincy Jones and Ludacris released their own line of headphones.Dre, the Grammy-winning rapper who has produced hits for Eminem, 2Pac, 50 Cent and Mary J. Blige, says he is offended when he sees people using generic headphones."It's almost like a
    <strong><a href="http://www.cheapmonsterbeatsus.com/Monster-Beats-Pro-White-and-Red-Over-Ear-Headphone-p69.html">Monster Beats Pro White and Red Over-Ear Headphone</a></strong> knife in the heart," he said while promoting the headphones last year. "We're in the studio, at least me, for years at a time trying to work on music, tweaking it, trying to get the sound right, and for people to walk around and listen to the music on those cheap white headphones is ridiculous."But some people may have a reason for not buying Beats by Dr. Dre. The cheapest set costs $100, and the most expensive pair is $500. 50 Cent's Sync by 50 ranges from $130 to $400, and the lowest price for Soul by Ludacris is $70; the highest is $300. (Partial sales from 50 Cent and Cannon's headphones go to charity.)"You go out and spend three, four hundred dollars on an iPod, and then you go put your earphones in and your iPod sounds like crap," said Jimmy Iovine, chairman of Interscope, A&M and Geffen Records and co-creator of Beats by Dr. Dre, as he was standing with Dre. "This is about releasing the sound that's in the iPod."Multiple setsMonster's CEO Noel Lee took it a step further: "Most people have never heard what their iPod sounds like."Research shows that most MP3 listeners own multiple headphones, according to Karim Noblecilla, director of product marketing for Sony's Personal Audio Accessories division."That's how we're seeing the market," she said. "People have two, three, even four sets for different purposes."Noblecilla says Sony has a range of headphones designed for
    <strong><a href="http://www.cheapmonsterbeatsus.com/">Monster Beats</a></strong> specific and unique demographics, from surfers to 13-year-olds. Its newest series, the Balanced Armature, is billed as the "smallest and lightest in-ear digital noise canceling headphones in the market today." It ranges from $80 to $500, and Sony says that although the headphones are small, they can "achieve high resolution sound."Noblecilla says style and appearance have played a heavy role in headphone production in recent years. Diddy said that was his contribution to his line, Diddybeats."Not only did we want to have the best sound, we wanted to have the best-looking ear bud, and we want it to come in flavors," he said when his line came out.He compared his headphones to the "sleekness of a Ferrari," and added that the look matches its high sound quality.Oversize headphones were a big trend in the 1970s and 1980s - a time when hip-hop was emerging as a genre and people walked around with boom boxes, <strong><a href="http://www.cheapmonsterbeatsus.com/">Cheap Monster Beats</a></strong> blasting a sound that Lee believes the iPod generation has missed out on.Audio to video"If you're (in the) Baby Boomer generation, you grew up with speakers … (but) during the transition from an audio world to a video world, we kind of lost the audio in favor of the video development," he said. "The iPod generation … they never got to hear really deep bass."But 50 Cent, who says his line is "better than the others," believes his competitors aren't making headphones for all styles of music."I understand that they're trying to make it more attractive to a hip-hop demographic with the bass and stuff like that, but you listen to other music that isn't from that genre (and) it's way off-balance," he said in a recent interview.Iovine oversees record labels that are subsidiaries of Universal Music, the home to artists who have released headphones via Monster like Lady Gaga, Diddy and Bieber, as well as acts like Rihanna, Kanye West, Eminem, the Black Eyed Peas and Lil Wayne. Iovine has been able to promote Monster headphones in music videos for Universal artists, from Nicki Minaj to Maroon 5. Bono, who has a version of Beats by Dr. Dre that benefits his Product Red Group, presented a pair to Jon Stewart when he visited his show last month.50 Cent says the celebrity attachment to headphones helps give the product an identity."The generic public is responding to products associated with living

It's a corporation, it's not a person associated with it that has respect within hip-hop culture or pop culture," he said.But unlike Universal, the other major labels - Sony, EMI and Warner - have yet to really use their rosters to promote headphones. Noblecilla of Sony wouldn't comment on whether the company had plans to do so, but said people buy their headphones for the "style and the quality that we provide."

Transformation of Popular Web-Portal for Mobile Service :: 2008/05/09 20:07

  As I mentioned, full browsing service for mobile internet is attracting many korean users after LGT launched OZ service. Full browsing service enables many users to connect to usual web pages with mobile handsets. However, some guys point out that, because usual Korean portal put too many contents including picture and text on an independant web page, usual web pages are not proper for mobile service.

  Thus, popular web-portals started to transform their service for mobile service. Naver, the biggest korean portal, has already provided the simple edition of its initial page. The simple edition of Naver looks like the initial page of Google. The initial page of Naver SE excludes unnecessary pictures and text and includes just only a blank input box for search like Google. It is very effective and efficient for mobile web browsing service.

  Another popular portal, Daum is also preparing for a new simple web page for mobile service. Daum announced that it will launch a simple service including popular contents for mobile service in May. I think these transformations of popular web-portals are very positive signals for expanding mobile data service in Korea.
