Koreans wait for their Apple iPhone
2009/06/19 01:02At the recent Apple Worldwide Developers Conference, Korea was once again not included on a list of countries where the iPhone is available for purchase.
But there might be some hope for Korean iPhone fans, Lee Chan-jin was interviewed by the Korea Herald where he speculated that the iPhone would finally be released in August and make an immediate impact in the Korean market:
"Although KT may have to relinquish control over the content and applications downloaded onto mobile phones, it will gain more than it loses from the introduction of the iPhone," he said. "KT will be able to generate revenue from mobile data plans required for the iPhone, which will offset a drop in content revenue."
He added, "KT can also benefit from subscriber growth, as the iPhone is expected to incite many customers to switch from its larger rival SK Telecom, to KT."
And Planet Size Brain has details on a recent application from Apple to recive certification from the Korean Radio Research Agency for the iPhone 3G.
