  21. Conclusion Korea plans to continue the success of “Broadband Korea” in the wireless domain WCDMA deployment is slow due to close substitutes (EV-DO) in cellular & PCS bands The speed & tariff of EV-DO are not enough to boost mobile Internet demands HSDPA & WiBro are expected to create broadband wireless Internet market The standardization of WiBro will strengthen the global competitiveness of Korea 2006 will be a landmark year for establishing the stepping stone of 4G Conclusion
