In 2006.

Although MIC(Ministry of Information & Communication)'s Strong Will and Support the legislation about IpTV and the other Telecommunication & Broadcasting convergence services, the response to MIC's IT 839 Stretegy is very negative. KT and SKTelecom invest very conservatively on the Wibro network deployment from 2006 to 2007. There is no service coverage advantage, price and terminal for this new service. In 2006, Wibro service subscriber is under 1K.

In 2007.

VoIP service operators hesitates to adapt their servie on Wibro because of inter connect rates. KT and SKTelecom don't want to make sacrifice their mobile business revenue for this new service of uncertainty. And till 3/4 of 2007, Wibro terminal is only PCMCIA priced 200$ because terminal vendors including non-majors believe Wibro business as the uncertatinties. But WCDMA is getting more popular because of the national-wide coverage and service operator's promotion program. The subscriber is over 300K and the switching over from CDMA to WCDMA is getting fast. The Wibro service user is about 10K.

In 2008.

The Intel platform business based on WiMax from 2008 is not a strong driving force for Wibro. At first, WiMAX is not welcommed in the developed conturies but for the not developed or developing conturies. Because of the interoperability between WiMAX and WiFi, customers prefer the individual and small WiFi network. terminal and PC makers and this terminal options help customers to move from Wired-service to Wireless. The wireless service are divided two categories; one is mobile service through CDMA/WCDMA and the other is wirless data service through Wibro. But the wireless data service-side, WCDMA fails because of the price program, not data-throguhput. Many customer want to use voice service over Wibro but mobile service has its own competitiveness in wireless voice service. So Wibro service is specialized on the wireless data service. Its success leads the e-community society.

In 2009 ~ 2010

Korea is the leading contury in Wireless Data Service, E-Society and Wibro Terminal and System business. Intel setups WiMax R&D center in Korea and many global major players want to build JV with KT and SKTelecom to open Wibro Service business out of Korea. 4G specification is delayed because of 3.5G still works well in the market.
