LG Snaps Up KTFT

Mar 16, 2006, 9:19 AM by (staff)

LG Electronics today announced a tentative deal to acquire KTFT. KTFT makes phones for the North American market in cooperation with UTStarcom, such as the CDM-9200 for Verizon Wireless currently available through select channels. A UTStarcom spokesperson was unavailable for comment on how this might affect future planned models, such as the 9945 shown off by UTStarcom at recent trade shows. Currently Korea's third-largest phone maker, the purchase of fifth-largest KTFT should restore LG to the number two position. Last year, Pantech acquired SK Teletech to take the Korean number two position from LG.

Misleading

LG is #3 in Korea, #2 manufacturer worldwide. Pantech-Curitel is not a world player.
