A. Present Conditions of the Industry
(1) | Characteristics of the Industry |
• | Telecommunication (KT, KT Sat, KT Powertel, Olleh Rwanda Networks Ltd.) |
The telecommunication business usually involves businesses such as mobile communications, fixed-line telephony, line lease businesses and Internet Protocol Television (“IPTV”). The value chain in the telecommunication business begins from contents, platform, network and terminal. The convergence of fixed-line, wireless, and broadcasting telecommunications has increased and expanded to adjacent sectors. The traditional telecommunications business is increasingly evolving into services such as IPTV and advanced wideband LTE (“LTE-A”). However, competition in the Korean telecommunications industry is intense and each of the service areas (wireless, fixed telephony and high-speed internet) are experiencing stagnant growth.
Licenses are required within the satellite business in order to use orbital space and spectrum from the government and provide services to clients. KT currently owns three satellites and transponders, all of which KT purchased from foreign operators.
The Trunked Radio System (“TRS”) service, operated by KT Powertel, allows users to utilize limited spectrums for radio communication services. Approximately 320,000 subscribers are using iDEN services. The TRS service is expected to sustain its growth in the foreseeable future, mainly focusing on specific markets such as logistics and industrial sites.
Olleh Rwanda Networks constructs relevant network facilities in order to provide 4G LTE services in Rwanda.
Rwanda has an area 26,338 km2-a quarter of South Korean regions, with a population of 12million according to 2014 CIA research. The country has low fixed broadband penetration, with government and corporations as main user base. On the other hand, 3G mobile broadband penetration rate reached 23%, with 2,778,077 subscribers. As 3G mobile broadband subscribers base expected to expand further, KT and Rwanda government established Olleh Rwanda Network in order to create various ICT convergence value added services, based on 4G LTE networks and user expansions. The government of Rwanda gave ORN monopolistic rights regarding wholesale business. KT and Rwanda government constructs LTE networks through investments, and ORN sells traffic to MNOs and ISPs where those operators sell to end users as packaged items then.
• | Credit Cards Business (BC Card) |
In 1982, five domestic banks (Chohung, Commercial, First Korea, Hanil, Seoul Trusts) established the Banks’ Credit Card Association (the predecessor of BC Card) and launched their card operations. Today’s credit card business structure was formed when the Credit Card Industry Act was enacted in 1987. In 2009, the government expanded possible credit card payment accounts that were limited to commercial bank’s accounts into financial investment company cash management accounts (“CMA”), which were allowed to issue CMA-based credit cards. The credit card industry has expanded the scope of its business as a result of the government’s credit card proliferation policy, which was designed to help the government correctly charge taxable income. Recently, the industry is reinforcing its risk management in order to enhance profitability.
• | Satellite Broadcasting Service (KT Skylife) |
Since broadcasting services have become increasingly integrated into the telecommunication business, its value in the media industry has been re-prioritized. New broadcasting technologies such as digital conversion and broadband broadcasting have developed due to the convergence of broadcasting and telecommunication and are available to satisfy customer needs.
• | Car Rental Business (KT Rental) |
Due to Korea’s per capita income increase, continuous economic growth, and the convenience of the car rental system, consumer interest in the rental car business, including interest within the government and corporate sectors, has demonstrated steady growth.
6
• | Media Contents (KT Media Hub) |
The recent development of smart devices for media contents consumption allows users to enjoy contents seamlessly with the device of preference. KT Media Hub is focusing not only on the development of new media contents but also to optimize contents for mobile IPTV. KT Media Hub is also focusing to create a stronger synergy among KT’s media related subsidiaries and affiliates, such as KT Skylife, KTH, KT Music, Skylife TV and etc.
• | Auto Lease and Installment Financing (KT Auto Lease) |
KT Auto lease offers its customers leased automobiles by charging certain rates for usage fees and interests. Financing allows users to pay for their automobiles on an installment basis.
• | Real estate development, rental and management (KT Estate) |
Real estate development usually requires large scale capital investments and takes long period of time for profits to be realized. Although real estate development returns are usually high, it is also affected by many risks. Efficient management of real estate assets is also an important business portfolio for KT Estate.
• | Financing business (Smartro) |
The VAN business involves linking credit card companies’ financing networks with large vendors and POS for credit card transactions. Although there are no regulatory barriers for financing the VAN business, certain network operation know-how is required.
• | Equipment and Related Product Wholesale (KTM&S) |
Previously, telecommunication equipment distributions were agency oriented. However, recent telecommunication equipment distributions are moving toward direct channels and on-line channels as smartphones and emerging devices are becoming increasingly popular. As distribution practices are being more focused on direct channels, we are planning to improve differentiation through CRM and service quality enhancement.
• | Contents Distribution (KT Hitel) |
The contents distribution business is growing due to increased demands for various N-Screen contents. Video contents are especially suitable for one-source-multi-use due to its ability of being recreated with more value added products. KT Hitel has the greatest number of rights for movie contents for the IP platform. KT Hitel also launched the T-Commerce business, which offers interactive shopping contents for TV viewers. We expect great growth potential from T-Commerce.
• | E-commerce (KT Commerce) |
Companies increasingly prefer e-commerce business to business (“B2B”) provided that it allows for more efficient sales and purchasing procedures. A broker-managed e-commerce system commences once an order from the e-catalogue is placed and is followed by certain logistical procedures. B2B e-commerce offers purchasing companies greater efficiency, optimized processes and an integrated database system, while at the same time, offering selling companies with greater access to distributors of stable credit ratings.
• | Music contents (KT Music) |
The music industry refers to the overall cycle of value creation for music contents, starting with composition, performance, publishing, copyrights, management, record labels, and public relations activities. With the rapid expansion of smartphones, since late 2009, there have been an increasing number of subscribers consuming music contents via their smartphone devices.
• | Submarine Cable Construction (KT Submarine) |
KT Submarine provides cable construction and management services for telecommunication carriers. In addition to submarine cables for telecommunication carriers, KT Submarine also provides submarine construction for electricity providers. With increasing demands for electricity from China and Southeast Asian countries, the submarine power system is considered to be an ideal source of power to meet such demands.
7
• | Security and Guards (KT Telecop) |
The security service business has been growing due to reasons such as an increase in gross domestic product (“GDP”), women’s social advancement, and the aging population. The security business has a high entry barrier and is not very susceptible to the economic cycle. Security services are provided for individual clients as well as corporate and governmental organizations for the security of personnel, equipment or other assets.
• | Lease and Corporate Loan (KT Capital) |
Installment financing refers to lending capital to individual customers who purchase goods that are costly, such as automobiles, machinery or real estate, and charging monthly installments which includes principal and interest. Lease services refers to an agreement between two parties whereby one party allows the other to use his/her property for a certain period of time in exchange for a periodic fee. Most financing companies offer both installment financing and lease services.
• | Advertising (Nasmedia) |
There are two main types of agencies for small-to medium sized advertising agencies, which are media representatives and agencies focused on creative directing. The online advertising market is growing most rapidly in the advertising market and has the most access to opportunities.
• | Software development and distribution (KT DS) |
Korea’s IT servicing business has reached its peak. While new trends such as cloud services, big data, and open sources are receiving more attention from the market, the growth potential for these new services seems to be limited, as most of Korea’s corporations are trying to limit their budget for IT investments. As such, KT DS is looking to advance into the global market while tapping into IT-based convergence services.
• | (KT CS, KTIS) |
KT CS business area comprises of contact center, 114 businesses, and merchandising business. KTCS contact center offers call centers to various firms, responsible for client firm’s customer satisfaction and their brand images. KTCS also provides 114 phone number information services. Merchandising business regards with sales of KT’s wireline and wireless products.
KTIS also offers contact center services, sales of advertisement and telecommunication services. Korea domestic demands for contact center are growing considering client firms’ outsourcing needs for call centers. We expect higher demands in the future, considering corporate employment policies, growing needs for professional customer services, and increasing burdens of pricey IT systems and facilities investment. KTIS sells KT’s wireline and wireless products.

Companies such as Intelsat, SES, Eutelsat, and Telesat are the incumbent dominant players in the market and competition among these companies remains intense. The market for the global satellite leasing industry will expand into South East Asia, Middle Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
8
• | Olleh Rwanda Networks LTD. |
Current mobile operators passively respond to the needs for LTE products, as they are afraid of cannibalization with their 3G revenue. On the other hands, new entrants in Internet Service Providers face difficulty in 4G network sales due to lack of distribution channels available.
But under data explosion era, Rwanda voice would be replaced with data networks as many developed country experienced. And 3G networks capacity would not be able to hold increasing demands, increasing appeal for 4G networks, and ORN, a monopoly wholesale operator for LTE.
• | Credit card business (BC Card) |
Until 2010, the credit card business grew explosively with the supportive policy of the Korean government. However, as overall levels of credit card users began to saturate and the decline of average credit card payments have escalated, the card business market is facing difficulties in securing sustainable growth.
• | Satellite Broadcasting Service (KT Skylife) |
In the future, broadcasting and telecommunication operators will provide not only voice data and data with IPTV and voice-over-internet-protocol (“VoIP”), but will also offer interactive satellite and mobile services that integrate wireless and wireline characteristics.

The robust growth of the IPTV platform will generate an explosive demand for contents such as movies, dramas, and animation. Meanwhile, T-commerce was launched as a new shopping platform.
• | Security and Guards (KT Telecop) |
The domestic security industry is affected by developments in electronics, computers, the internet, and the telecommunications and film industries and more value-added products are being introduced into the market. With an expectation that disposable income will continue to grow, the relevant security industry should continue to yield stable growth in the coming years.
• | Car Rental Business (KT Rental) |
The domestic car rental market has shown stable growth along with an increase in car sales. The percentage of rental cars compared to registered vehicles has been maintained above 2%. Considering the past growth trend and expected increase in per capita income, the portion of rental cars to registered vehicles will increase steadily.

Previous economic recessions force various companies to face higher competition so that corporation today need cost reduction for survival.

• | E-commerce (KT Commerce) |
(a) | High barriers to entry |
• | Generally the B2C e-commerce market does not have high entry barriers because entry costs are comparatively low, as there are no huge investments for machinery or equipment.

B. Current Status of the Company
(1) Market Characteristics and Classification of Businesses
(a) Market Characteristics
• | Telecommunication (KT, KT SAT, KT Powertel, Olleh Rwanda Networks Ltd.) |
The Korean telecommunications market is currently experiencing stagnant growth as major services, including fixed-line telephony, broadband internet and mobile communications, have reached maturity, caused in part by intense competition in the industry. KT is also facing a difficult business environment with fixed-mobile substitution, emergence of internet telephone (VoIP), and price and subsidy competition. Despite the unfavorable economic environment, KT has made continuous efforts to promote cost-cutting measures and innovate customer values. In order to communicate with customers efficiently, KT introduced its new brand name “olleh.” As a result, KT has maintained 8,130 thousands of its broadband subscribers, 13,710 thousands of its PSTN subscribers (Including Premises /Excluding DID) and 17,330 thousand of its mobile subscribes as of the end of 2014.
Considering the highly saturated mobile phone market in Korea (113.5% penetration rate with 57,210 thousands subscribers as of the end of 2014), growth potential by adding new subscribers or raising voice service pricing is limited. In such an environment, however, the mobile data business is considered to be a growth engine.
In late 2009, KT successfully switched the paradigm of the mobile competition from a voice centered market to data-centered services by introducing Apple’s iPhone to the Korean market and enhanced its competitiveness by introducing emerging devices including the iPhone 4 and iPads. KT’s initiatives led to a smartphone penetration rate of 12.42 million (72% of KT’s mobile subscribers) as of end of 2014 and our LTE subscribers had a penetration rate of more than 10 million as of September 12, 2014. In order to promote data usage, KT increased the data volume provided for mobile subscribers by utilizing its 3W (WCDMA, WiFi, WiBro) networks.
In the PSTN business, KT owns 81.0% of market share as of the end of 2014 with its high brand value and loyalty to customers. However, as KT’s competitors began introducing fixed-mobile bundle services with competitive pricing, KT’s PSTN revenue has been declining steadily. Nevertheless, KT has been trying to mitigate the decline in revenue through various pricing plans and by providing valuable customer services through the CRM system.
In the broadband internet arena, KT will aim to improve its customer value and marketing power by continually providing Fiber-To-The-Home (“FTTH”) services.
KT Sat was spun off from KT on December 1, 2012, and recorded an average growth rate of 8% for three years in a row. KT Sat provides transponder leasing, broadcasting, video distribution and data communications services through our satellites.
Although TRS services require at least two people to subscribe, KT Powertel’s TRS allows consumers to save in investment costs by offering a customized network through a public network. TSR is absorbing demands to substitute mobile communication services for certain companies and the growth forecast appears to be steady.
Olleh Rwanda Networks Ltd., which has an exclusive wholesale business license for the 4G data technology, gives the existing mobile carriers and ISPs a same opportunity to build a 4G retail business. Olleh Rwanda Networks Ltd. try to expand the internet service (retail) with Rwanda government’s ICT supporting policy and the data market growth trend.

• | Car Rental Business (KT Rental) |
Currently, there are many smaller companies in the car rental business as the market entry barrier is low. Almost every year, there are new entrants in the market.

KT Commerce conducts overall business activities from purchases to management and offers clients with efficient purchasing services.
• | Music Contents (KT Music) |
The digital music market has grown since smartphones were introduced to Korea in the year 2009 along with the expansion of fixed-line internet services. Unlike feature phones that would provide various music services on a limited basis because of the expensive data service fee, smartphones enabled users to receive music services at no cost through Wi-Fi, 3G, and LTE networks. Consequently, in this environment, the digital music market faced a turning point and is continuing to grow.
• | Submarine Cable Construction (KT Submarine) |
The submarine cable construction market is usually made up of telecommunication operators’ consortiums that share any expenses. However, recently each submarine cable companies are starting to operate independently. These submarine cable companies receive orders from telecommunication operators and construct submarine cables with their own vessels. Meanwhile, the submarine cable construction method has also changed. Multiple ships are deployed for bulk cable construction in order to implement new technology more quickly.

(3) Status and Forecast of New Businesses
• | Telecommunication (KT, KT Sat, KT Powertel, Olleh Rwanda Networks) |
In order to secure continuous growth potential, KT has been actively expanding its business into new businesses with growth prospects. KT aims to offer ubiquitous services for subscribers while offering telecommunication based business solutions to corporate clients.
Since the introduction of VoIP in early 2008, KT has been expanding its VoIP subscriber base, recording 3.4 million VoIP subscribers as of September 2013. Unlike other operators which have positioned VoIP as a substitute for PSTN, KT has marketed its VoIP as both a substitute and complementary service for PSTN. On the back end of these efforts, KT has maintained a relatively stable PSTN subscriber base.
KT has also introduced ‘Home hub phone’ and ‘smart home pad,’ which are integrated terminals combining PSTN, VoIP and access point (“AP”), allowing subscribers to enjoy services such as mobile IPTV and Life Jockey services using their home devices. KT plans to solidify its customer base through such creation of new convergent terminals with value-added services and applications. In January 2013, in order to transform conventional PSTN and VoIP oriented telephony customers into storage-over-internet-protocol (“SoIP”) subscribers, KT launched smart-home phone HD, which converged the smart-home contents service and HD voice/data communication function of WiFi-only smartphones.
As for our corporate business, we plan to expand our presence to the overseas markets with our IT solution products such as Mobile Office and Cloud Computing. After launching in 2010, KT is leading the Cloud Service market with Multi-Data Center and abundant Cloud conversion know-how. In case of u-cloud personals, with a 2.6 million subscriber base and 60 corporations commencing service commercialization of u-cloud personals API.
