South Korea iPhone Talks Underway

Friday, August 24th, 2007 at 9:05 AM - by

South Korea's second largest mobile phone service provider, KT Freetel, announced on Friday that it is in negotiations with Apple for rights to carry the iPhone, according to CNN Money. Like Apple's deal with AT&T in the United States, a contract with KT Freetel would allow the carrier to be the only company in South Korea that offers service for the combination iPod and smart phone.

Apple is currently negotiation with several cell carriers in Europe with plans to extend sales beyond the United States before the end of 2007. The company also plans to bring the iPhone to Asia some time in 2008.

I wonder how this will work in Korea? I'm there right now, and there are no monthly service rates in Korea. It's all pay as you use. I hope this means I could use the phone as much or as little as I want and pay only as much as I use. $60 a month minimum no matter how little I use it is not fair IMO.
