Hi all,
I wonder if anyone has more info/comments about KT's recently announced One-Phone concept, and about Samsung's terminals supporting it (dual-mode GSM/Wi-Fi?)
Thanks in advance,
Giorgio
KT, Korea's dominant fixed-line operator, will kick off a one-phone service from next week, which will seamlessly switch between landline and wireless voice and data. Under the new bundling service of KT, commercially known as ``MU'', customers will be able to savor landline calls at home and mobile services outdoors, through a single phone.
``Our new offering will be a convenience to customers as a single phone can work over both fixed and mobile networks. Also, data throughput will be up to 10 times faster compared to the previous mobile connection in the house,'' said Chang Byung-soo, assistant vice president of KT.
People will be able to send or receive calls through KT's traditional fixed line at home and via the firm's wireless arm KTF's mobile network while on the move.
Samsung Electronics, the world's third-largest cell phone maker, has already developed terminals for the looming service and will crank them out from next week.
