7. 7/10 Korea Communications Commission (KCC) completed the DTV channel arrangements in the band 470-698MHz in 2008 KCC will complete the usage plan on available frequency bandwidth derived from the temporary digital dividend band (698-806MHz) including the implementation of IMT while participating in the study of JTG 5-6 on WRC-11 agenda item 1.17. in 2009. 3. 700MHz Future Plan after 2009.

8. 8/10 4. 2.1GHz Future Plan after 2009. LGT had withdrawn their license(40 BW, 1920~1940 Tx, 2110~2130NHz Rx) which had identified for 3G(cdma2000) in 2006. KCC is going to consider the grant of new license to any interested party.

9. 9/10 4. 2.3GHz Future Plan after 2009. Hanaro Telecom had given up their WiBro license(2363-2390MHz) in 2005 KCC is going to consider the grant of new license to any interested party.
