The stiff competition in the cutthroat smartphone market appears to be resulting in a significant wireless boost for Korean cities.
In past years the country's mobile-phone carriers have been investing massively in futuristic communications technologies, such as WiBro (wireless broadband), but for now, the old and reliable Wi-Fi seems to be their meal ticket.
