SK Telecom-the nation’s top mobile carrier-entered the china which is the fast growing online gaming market. It contacts and make agreement about investment with Magicgrids Networks which is china-based company specializing in developing and publishing online games. China’s online gaming market has rapidly growth-82% between 2001 and 2007.
SK Telecom has participated in mobile services, music label and telematics company.
It aczuired a 42.2 percent skate in TR music co, and 65.52 percent skate in Shenzhen E-eye High Tech Co which is a global positioning system service company in China.
My opinion
I think it’s obvious that China online gaming market is a surely attractive market. It’s amazing figure which showed 82 percent exponential growths for just two years. How huge it was! Guess the market size of China gaming market, it’s not difficult that many companies went into China market. Through operating Magicgrids, SK expects to be Hub of Asia game, and I think that it’s not impossible.
However, it has to strength its strategy. Many corporations has participated in game market because game market has huge potential growth and it’s very high cost value business. But many corporations didn’t set proper strategy against game market. Because of market’s character, it is impossible to success without capability of business process, we saw many companies had failed even though their good game idea, and ability of production.
Online game market is different area with established areas, so they have to respond its rapidly changes to success in online game industry. I think SK Telecom has advantages based its huge fund ability, combination with capable business partners.
