KTF Wants to bring iPhone to South Korea

A partner of the Japanese DoCoMo, KTF hopes to be supplying the iPhone in South Korea sometime next year.

KTF seems rather confident that they will be the main provider of the iPhone for S. Korea, and if DoCoMo (KTF’s second largest shareholder) can succeed in nabbing Japan’s provider status, they’d certainly gain a chunk of revenue out of it. Steve Jobs’ ‘OK’ of the deal is apparently the only thing holding KTF back.

“We want to sell it, but Steve Jobs has been playing hard (in the negotiation),” says Vice President of KTF, Kim Yeon-Hak.

He continued with: “It’s difficult because the size of the Korean market is small. But someday we will do it, using our relationship with NTT Docomo.'’

We will continue to cover the iPhone moving into KTF’s hands as more pops up.
