POSBRO

Users can take advantage of the network speeds to play advanced, online games with multiple players in a graphich-rich environments, in addition to accessing their favorite Web sites.

POSBRO has signed agreements with the Korean mobile WiMax operator KT to provide an online gaming service via G100 starting in early 2008. The company has also announced that the G100 will be launching in the United States in the beginning of 4Q 2008 or late 1Q 2009. The G100 was demonstrated at SPRINT's booth at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier this month.
