Somehow, I expect this is the "compromise" that was reached with the new I-phone, as well...... be sure before you buy one!

Users who are not subscribed to SK Telecom's fixed-rate data plans will have to pay for 3G network usage on a per-packet basis, not a great option as the company charges 3.5 won per kilobyte.
So downloading the 1,349-kilobyte ``2009 Pro Baseball'' mobile game, one of the most popular programs made available on T-Store, will cost users nearly 5,000 won for network usage, in addition to paying 3,000 won for the game itself.
The mobile version of ``Blue Marble,'' a ``Monopoly'' imitation, will cost users about 4,000 won to download, although the game itself is provided for free.
Downloading software bigger than 2 or 3 megabytes may easily cost the user around 10,000 won.
.........
``SK Telecom is clearly showing that it will use T-Store merely as a tool for gathering more subscribers for their fixed-rate data services, rather than improving the smart phone experience of their users,'' read another online post.
``This is a company that has no knowledge about creating new value and experiences, as it fails to plan for the future beyond the next quarter and is obsessed with counting each and every penny that comes their way.'' |
