Leading IT Company]Samsung Electronics Introducing WiBro In Tokyo and Washingto

Friday, March 09, 2007 By Jeong Ji-Yeon

Samsung Electronics will introduce WiBro to Tokyo and Washington, which have been the area of Sony Ericsson and Motorola.
According to the governmental office and the related office on 8th, it is expected that Samsung Electronics and KDDI consortium in Japan will be selected as a service provider of the next generation broadband wireless Internet, which the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications in Japan will announce in June.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications in Japan is planning to select a model service provider, taking WiBro as the standard technology by allocating 70MHz out of 2.5GHz to activate the broadband wireless Internet. 5 Japanese telecommunication service providers including KDDI, NTT Docomo and Postbank BB took part in the selection, and Samsung Electronics (with KDDI) and Posdata (with NTT Docomo) participated as the equipment provider.
A related governmental official said, "It is not decided yet even though the service proposal and related equipment technology by Samsung Electronics and KDDI seem better. But it is very meaningful that Korea is leading the standardization and the first commercially used technology is selected officially by the government in the telecommunication big power Japan."
Japanese government is planning to select 1 to 3 service providers for the model service in the second half of this year, and for the wide service by the end of next year.
Samsung Electronics starts the model service of WiBro with Sprint in Washington, US at the end of this month. Sprint, processing the WiBro service in coming January, chose Samsung Electronics as a partner for the service. The company is planning to have the model service in the main cities such as Washington, LA and Atlanta.
Samsung Electronics Information & Telecommunication managing director Lee Gyeong-Joo said, "35 companies in 25 countries are preparing for WiBro service, and the service will begin in Brazil and Venezuela in this year. The service will be expanded to the advanced telecommunication markets such as US, Italy and Japan. We expect that WiBro will make 4G standard technology in the near future."

I just picked up FreeWibro.com It's worth a $7 gamble Someone had mentioned Wibro awhile back, but it seemed like it was only happening in Korea, now that it's spreading, it seems like something that maybe worth investing in.

EDIT** Shoot sorry, just noticed this is an appraisal thread...

 

[slaughterbeck]

All of your names are pertinent to the technology and I suspect that a few will start to see some increased traffic over the next couple months. It’s hard to appraise a domain name based on an emerging technology in a field where there seems to be little of historic value with which to make an informed prediction as to how popular this is likely to be and how long it might take to become the standard.

There is obviously great growth potential for WiBro but thus far it has been a disappointment in South Korea since its introduction 8 months ago.

WiMAX snubbed by users

WiBro, Korea’s homegrown version of mobile WiMAX, has managed to attract only 1,057 subscribers since it was launched eight months ago, according to reports. When WiBro was launched it was expected to attract 3.5 million subscribers worldwide by the end of 2006. However, SK Telecom’s service, launched at a cost of GBP93 million (USD186 million), has just 151 subscribers and KT Corp, which has invested GBP246 million, has 906 subscribers. The third WiBro licensee, Hanaro Telecom, reportedly gave its concession back in April 2005.

In my own personal opinion, I believe this will succeed in the US; with the incredibly rapid escalation in powerful yet miniature devices the enormous need for wireless broadband connectivity appears to me to be inevitable.

Best wishes,
Kimmy

Samsung to build wireless Internet network for Sprint Nextel in U.S.
HANOVER, Germany, March 18 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. will build a network in Washington, D.C. to enable high-speed mobile Internet connectivity anywhere in the city from December for U.S.-based wireless carrier Sprint Nextel Corp., the Seoul-based company said Sunday.

"The commercial service (by Sprint Nextel) utilizing Samsung's WiBro technology will begin by the end of this year," said Choi Gee-sung, head of Samsung's telecommunications business, at the global tech exhibition CeBIT 2007 in this German city. "We also plan to supply Wibro-enabled devices (for Sprint Nextel)."
WiBro is an improved version of WiMax that enables high-speed Internet connectivity even when a user is in motion. WiMax refers to a wireless Internet technology developed by the world's largest chipmaker Intel Corp.

Samsung is one of the companies Sprint Nextel has been working with for its plan to launch the WiMax service for areas around Washington and Chicago starting as early as the end of this year.

According to Choi, Samsung Electronics plans to unveil a new technology at the Beijing 2008 Olympics as an official wireless communications equipment partner.

Samsung Electronics will continue to hold its 4G Forums to promote 4G communications technology, an upgraded version of existing wireless communications platforms such as wireless Internet WiBro, Choi added.
