South Korea to Standardize Cellular Phone Accessories
CA051212-06
Data cables and earphones, which differ from one handset manufacturer to
another, are going to be standardized in South Korea. South Korea's three
mobile communication service providers: SK Telecom, KTF and LG Telecom
agreed on the external interface of cellular phones and signed a MOU
(Memorandum of Understanding).
Accordingly, reuse of cellular phone accessories such as
earphone/microphones and data cables will be possible. Consumers who change
handset models will not have to buy new accessories.
In addition, the lack of standardization prohibited development of
value-added services which synchronize cellular phones with their external
devices. In the future there will be various value-added services which
synchronize the cellular phone input/output port and external devices. [M.
