Abstract :
Korea Telecom (KT), Korea´s main telephone operator, is planning to launch PCS service in 1998, and is developing PCS systems with local manufacturers. This article describes KT´s PCS marketing strategies, PCS network implementation directions, and the current status of system developments. In early 1996, prototypes of each network element were completed, which was followed by testing and system integration. The PCS will not only open up a new market for KT; it will be a major revenue source. This KT-PCS will also be the basis for the next generation of wireless communications in the 2000s
