Just a correction. At least as far as I know, South Korea is a cdma-only country. Along with Japan... interesting thing is that these two countries are the most advanced w.r.t future mobile communications. They are always showcased as showing what the future will be like, especially I may say South Korea.
A quote from http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/59/29115.html : "Seven years ago we did not have international experience, we are just now starting joint venture work," Seon Jong Chung, president of Korean Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) once said. "So seven years ago we followed Qualcomm and the US way. At the time, the US way was more advanced than ours. Later on we found that the US way was not the international way. I'm very sorry, but we committed to such a mistake. We didn't use the modern, standardization approach."
