Article Abstract:
South Korean investment in US personal communications services licenses and entry into the cellular phone equipment market raise the stakes in the existing battles over the standards in use in Asia, the US and Europe.

South Korea backed US-based NextWave Personal Communications, which paid over $4.7 billion for licenses in recent auctions, raising foreign ownership of telecommunications concerns.
