Korea Times reports on a plan to create a district in which cutting-edge wireless technologies will be available. Given Korea's success in broadband diffusion, I wouldn't discount this as utopian PR:

South Korea plans to construct a ``mobile paradise,'' a special district next year, where people will be able to enjoy a seamless service from the world's latest wireless technologies.

The Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) Wednesday revealed the grandiose scheme, dubbed the M1 (Mobile No. 1) project, as part of its annual business plan.

``All existing and burgeoning mobile technologies in this planet will be used in the special district, which will be designated later,'' MIC assistant minister Suk Ho-ick said.

``The special district is kind of a free technology zone that will create a new mobile environment. It will play the role of test-bed for up-and-coming wireless platforms,'' Suk added.
