"INTEL HAS teamed up with South Korea's top fixed-line and broadband operator KT Corp to introduce mobile broadband services into the home market.
The American chipmaker is pushing WiMAX technology to provide high-speed data capabilities over areas as large as a small-sized city, so Koreans can tap into broadband while on the move.
The US company hopes not only to repeat its success in popularising the short-range wireless WiFi standard now popular in airports and coffee shops, but - by using WiMAX - will also provide Koreans with an alternative broadband channel into their homes.
South Korea has long pioneered broadband with three-quarters of the nation's 48 million people having Internet access - a quarter of whom already have high-speed connections.
But the nation's telecoms companies are seeking new areas of growth areas as they vie to compete in what are generally stalled broadband and voice traffic markets."
"* MEANWHILE, according to Indian newspaper the Financial Express (http://www.financialexpress.com/fe_full_story.php?content_id=94030), a government minister has egg on his face after Intel denied it had made any decision to invest $400 million in the country."
