Sprint and SK Telecom Rumors…again
I have been reading some rumors around the web regarding Sprint and SK Telecom. Now some time back I heard some rumors about SK Telecom trying to buy Sprint, but the latest rumors shows they may take on more of a partnership role. I know with large companies mergers are a little scary sometimes, but I think this would be really beneficial for Sprint customers.
SK Telecom is the largest mobile provider in South Korea. They have some super awesome technology that we do not have here in the states. I have read they have very fast data speeds in South Korea with some of their towers supporting 14.4 Mbps data speeds. If this does not sound great to you, keep in mind Sprint and Verizon are peaking at about 2 Mbps. Sprint and Verizon have a great and reliable data network, but when you multiple that by 7 you start getting into higher speeds than some cable modems.
Keep an eye out for this one. SK Telecom is know for their cool phones and some pretty awesome partnerships with Samsung. This could be a nice breath of fresh air for Sprint, and even help bring some really unique foreign technology to the U.S.
