SAN DIEGO, June 19 -- QUALCOMM Incorporated

The launch of KTF's first WIPI on BREW handsets, WIPI 2.0.B, will mark an
important step for the operator as it deploys its BREW-powered "magic n' Show

comprehensive and compelling wireless data services available in the Korean
market, including downloadable applications, games and ringtones.
"KTF subscribers have come to expect a level of quality and innovation
from our 'magic n' Show Downloadpack service,' and QUALCOMM's BREW solution
has played a significant role in setting that high standard," said Dong Won
Lee, vice president for KTF. "We are pleased that KTF will continue to be
able to take advantage of BREW applications through the commercial deployment
of WIPI on BREW handsets."
"The adoption of WIPI on BREW phones by KTF and its partners in the Korean
wireless community is an exciting testament to what is possible with mobile
data services," said Arvin Chander, vice president of global carrier
relations, QUALCOMM Internet Services. "QUALCOMM is thrilled to continue
supporting the Korean market's growth, its innovation in offering WIPI on
BREW, and the deployment of KTF's 'magic n' Show Downloadpack service' on
WCDMA. In addition, this launch opens new opportunities for BREW publishers
and developers from around the world to export their applications to the
Korean market."
