Thanks for the interest! Brilliant Rise Korea will localize. Korea is one of the biggest mobile game markets in the world. For T-Store, only Korean publishers can publish. Only 7 publishers are currently available and I am the largest (in terms of number of apps & games). Only Korean publishers can get Korean Game Rating Board Approval. With this approval, developers will get a code that is implemented into SKT's T-Store ARM/DRM. This will protect you IP/APKs. We will localize, handle payment, marketing, etc. Process: We send us your APKs (probably in English). We show to SKT. They pre-approve (hopefully) If so, you send us text/transcript in excel format, we translate and send back to you You incorporate and send back to us your Korean APKs. We show again to SKT for final approval. Please include marketing assets as you would for iPhone. We also test on all other Korean handsets We submit the sane APK to the Korean Game Ratings Board. This takes 1-3 weeks for approval If approved, you get a Certification Logo (from us via Ratings Board) to put into the splash/intro screen. With this Cert, you get a AID. We will teach you how to implement SKT ARM/DRM. Proficient developers usually take less than 4 hours. Each subsequent submission only take minutes after the first initial learning time. We work on the contract while we are submitting to Gam Ratings Board or right after SKT final approval You send us final Korean APK with Brilliant Rise Logo as your publisher plus Cert logo (on Brilliant Rise splash) We launch. Whole process takes less than 1 month from showing your English APKs to SKT to launch. Note: Android running 2.1. Most 1.5 and 1.6 are running fine on SKT android phones. Resolution is 600X480 SKT has 20M subscribers. End of 2010 target of 2M Android handsets (10% of subs). Based on current trends, Android downloads (all paid) are 10X greater than WIPI (national proprietary mobile Platform). Therefore, this should equate to 20M subscribers (which is the total SKT base). In short, at the end of 2010, a top game should generate US1M/month (which is the current WIPI revenue generated). A really good top game is generating between US1-3M/month. I should know. I worked for Com2uS as CMO/COO/Board Director for 7 years. I was employee 6 and started development studios in Beijing and Bangalore (over 250 developers). When I left, we had over 450 employees. We are the largest and first mobile game company in Korea to list on KOSDAQ in 2007. Our second market cap was US425M. Not bad for a bunch of young engineers turning a hobby into a real business. I have lived in Korea since 2001 so know SKT and KT well (these two constitute 85% market share). Let me know if you are interested. I have included my work email address.

Can you tell us a little more about the requirements to sell apps through the SKT T-store? Is there a Korean Business license / bank account needed? How is the payment handled. Can everything be accessed in english for the developers? Toby On Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 2:57 AM, Henry for SKT Android T-Store <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Everyone. I am one of the biggest publishers in Korea for Android (which is one of the world's largest mobile app markets). The SKT's T-Store has just launched in Feb and we are looking for Android apps & games immediately. A top mobile game in Korea earns over US1M/month and the mobile operators are hoping Android will be even larger.
