The Korea Communications Commission (KCC) has once again rejected an application from Korea Mobile Internet (KMI) to roll out a WiBro network with a view to competing against the three incumbent mobile network operators. According to the Yonhap News Agency, both KMI and Internet Space Time (IST), which also submitted an application for an operating concession, have had their requests rejected by the regulator; CommsUpdate reported earlier this month that both consortiums had made their submissions with a view to providing voice and data services based exclusively via WiBro (a South Korean variant of WiMAX) technology. The regulator’s rejection, the report claims, is seen as something of a blow to WiBro development, while it has also raised questions regarding just how the KCC aims to follow up its pledge to pressure cellcos SK Telecom, KT Corp and LG Uplus into further reducing mobile tariffs
