South Korean regulator to strengthen WiBro.(POLICY)

The government of South Korea plans to increase investment to develop mobile Internet technology and offer more connections of high-speed wireless on the road, a Korea Times report said. The Korea Communications Commission (KCC) renewed its commitment for WiBro, a domestic mobile WiMAX variant. The KCC will work to deregulate the advertising market to provide a business foundation for new cable television channels to be licensed later in December 2010 and give improved broadcasting services like IPTV. To cater to rising demand for mobile Internet connectivity after sales of tablet computers, smartphones, and other gadgets soared, the KCC expected the carriers to increase Wi-Fi zones to 165,000 in 2011 from totally 66,000 in 2010. The KCC will support steps by software developers, telecommunications firms, and television and film studios to develop a stronger content ecosystem for mobile Internet devices.
