KTF and SK Telecom struggle to promote video calling
2008/10/21 10:20Both KTF and SK Telecom continue to have problems trying to get users on their 3G networks to use video calling:
The two companies have gathered a combined 12 million plus subscribers for their 3G services, according to industry figures. However, as the low revenue from video calls and data transfer can attest, consumers, although attracted by the ultra-cool handsets, aren't prepared to spend their money on anything other than voice.
According to SK Telecom, the country's largest wireless carrier, controlling more than 50 percent of the market, video calls accounted for roughly 0.5 percent of call traffic during the month of September. KTF officials aren't giving numbers, but admit that the amount of traffic generated from video calls has been nearly irrelevant.
