The Korean government is working hard to make WCDMA viable but isn’t having much luck. Both SK Telecom and KTF said their fledgling networks are operational, barely beating their end-of-year deadlines, but the operators said that they will not allow commercial subscriptions until March. In addition, the government said it will allow the operators to subsidize the cost of WCDMA handsets and will allow the devices to be rented rather than sold. Both practices are forbidden by regulators for the country’s CDMA operators.
