Currently, the Telecom industry is focusing on the next-generation technology (i.e. fourth generation [4G]), which is based on Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE has become the life-blood for operators across the world. It is an evolution of GSM and Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) standards. Significance Introduced in mid-2009, LTE became a standard technology in the U.S. in 2011. It is the fastest wireless network technology and uses radio spectrum allowing more data transfers with the same bandwidth used by any 3G or other devices.

		<description><![CDATA[High-dividend stocks are always popular, and why not? When the market is fickle and when it’s difficult to earn steadily from price movement of stocks, a high cash-dividend payer could be a good bet. Cash dividends could return more than what you would have earned had you saved your money in a bank. But choosing a stock only on the basis of how high a dividend it pays may not always be a good idea. You may even find yourself trapped. How Come?   Before selecting a dividend-stock, many investors’ basic calculations focus primarily on dividend yield (annual dividend per share/stock’s price per share) as this represents the percentage return on the invested amount. Besides reflecting the percentage return, dividend yield also gives a fair idea of whether selecting a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The South Korean telecom giant SK Telecom Corp Ltd (SKM) has joined hands with telecom carriers for the commercial deployment of Long Term Evolution (LTE) services, also known as 4G networks. Given the surge in data traffic demand, the company will launch its LTE services in Seoul. SK Telecom has selected Samsung Electronics, LG-Ericsson and Nokia Siemens Networks as the key equipment suppliers for its 4G LTE network. The LTE network allows up to 75 Mbps downlink and 37.5 Mbps uplink speed, which are five and seven times faster than those of WCDMA networks, respectively. The demand for high-speed data services is growing rapidly, leading to a growing requirement for wireless data services.

		<description><![CDATA[The South Korean telecom regulator will hold an auction for radio spectrum in early August. The Korea Communications Commission (KCC) will raise roughly KRW 1.5 trillion ($1.1 billion) by providing several frequency bands to Korean mobile operators, thereby changing their competitive positions. The demand for smartphones is currently on the rise, leading to a growing requirement for wireless data services. Given the surge in data traffic demand, we believe Korean operators will try to make the most of this opportunity and participate in the auction process. Winning frequencies will aid operators to deploy advanced mobile network services known as Long Term Evolution (LTE). The South Korean telecom giant SK Telecom Corp Ltd (SKM) plans to launch its LTE networks in July while the other two major mobile operators KT Corp. ]]></description>

The company has decided to invest in the LightSquared venture, which is trying to become a U.S. wholesale wireless operator specializing in next-generation (4G) LTE network. LightSquared is promoted by the private equity firm Harbinger Capital Partners.

The iPad is not currently available in the region. If the talks between SK Telecom and Apple succeed, Koreans will have access to a second iPhone and first iPad carrier.

However, the prepaid service, which is being offered under the “Virgin&#8221; brand, will not be affected by the decision. Virgin Mobile USA, which is predominantly a prepaid operator, began its postpaid operation following the acquisition of mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) Helio in August 2008. Before the acquisition, Helio was a joint venture between South Korean wireless kingpin SK Telecom (SKM) and US-based Internet service provider Earthlink. The MVNO was the first to introduce an unlimited monthly access plan which bundles unlimited voice and data for a single monthly flat tariff. The move to discard Helio represents a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[South Korea’s incumbent fixed-line telephone carrier KT Corporation (KTC) has announced a major workforce restructuring program. The company is reportedly eliminating 5,992 jobs through an early retirement program, equating to 16% of its workforce (roughly 37,026 employees). This represents KT’s largest job cut ever. The early retirement program applies to the employees who have worked for more than 15 years and have applied for voluntary retirement. Approximately 65% of these employees are in their 50s. KT plans to fill the vacuum by expanding the recruitment of new entrants and reducing unemployment among young people. The job cut is expected to save KRW460 billion (US$393 million) annually in labor costs. However, the one-time cost for severance pay associated with the voluntary retirement program will halve KT’s operating profit for 2009 to ]]></description>

(KTC), announced third quarter results with reported net income increasing 80% year over year to KRW351.4 billion (US$285 million) or KRW1,497 per share (70 cents per ADS). The annualized growth was driven by gains from wireless and a stronger Korean won versus the US dollar, which helped reduce the cost for foreign currency debt. Revenues for the quarter increased 3.9% year over year to KRW4.82 triillion (US$1.97 billion), driven by growth in wireless data and subscriber base. However, operating profit declined 11.7% year over year to KRW413.1 billion (US$335 million) due to increase in depreciation and amortisation costs and higher marketing expenses resulting from intense competiion.

Assuming near-term approval of the service by the telecom regulator Korea Communications Commission, the company targets the commercial launch on Nov 1. FMS refers to use of cellular handsets instead of wired or cordless landline phones for communication. This entails migration of voice minutes from fixed-line to wireless networks. FMS differs from fixed-mobile convergence, which allows users to switch between fixed-lines and mobile networks using a single dual-mode handset and two different technologies. Currently, FMS services are widely available in Europe. SK Telecom’s FMS service allows customers to make calls within a designated area (called “Discount Zone&#8221;) under the company’s network coverage.
