Commercial Launch of WiBro Service

KT Corporation (NYSE: KTC) will commercially launch WiBro service, which enables two-way wireless broadband Internet access to portable computers, mobile phones and other portable devices at a speed up to 1 Mbps, on June 30, 2006. Initially, service areas will be limited to pilot service areas including four densely populated districts in Seoul (including Kangnam-gu), suburb Bundang-gu and subways and highways connecting Kangnam-gu and Bundang-gu. Subject to market conditions, KT Corporation plans to expand the WiBro service to all of metropolitan Seoul and select cities in Gyunggi Province by the beginning of 2007. KT Corporation plans to gradually expand its service coverage thereafter depending on market demand and profitability of the business. Considering the limited coverage at the time of launch, KT Corporation will charge promotional discount rates until the end of 2006.
