[The Chosun Ilbo, March 4 2008] Samsung Clinches Japan WiBro Deal

In a ray of hope for Korea's biggest electronics maker, Samsung is set to advance into two of the world's most competitive wireless markets, the U.S. and Japan.

UQ Communications, a Japanese consortium of six companies including telecom giant KDDI and Kyocera, announced Monday it has selected Samsung Electronics as its mobile WiBro equipment provider.

The consortium, established to provide high-speed mobile Internet services, acquired WiBro business rights in December last year.
