Woo-Hoo! Did I pick the right country to move to or what?!
A project between Intel and Korea Telecom is aiming to turn South Korea into the first country with nationwide WiMax coverage.
The two companies announced today the expansion of their effort to roll out WiMax-based high-speed Internet service throughout South Korea.
Currently available in Seoul, Inchon, and Suwon, the expanded service will reach five new cities as of tomorrow–Busan, Daegu, Gwangju, Daejeon, and Ulsan–and also cover the expressways of Gyeongbu, Jungbu, Honam, and Yeongdong.
The expanded service, dubbed a “mobile wonderland” by Korea Telecom, will offer a “3W” network, so named because it will consist of WCDMA (wideband code division multiple access) 3G mobile communications, wireless LAN, and Wibro (wireless broadband) high-speed Internet.
