Hewlett-Packard is considering setting up a research and
development centre in South Korea.
So far the company has made no formal plans nor confirmed any
details.
Last year Intel said it would set up a research and development
centre focused on technologies for the digital home and wireless
communications. Intel had intended to have the centre running by
the end of 2003 but unspecified reasons have led to a delay in the
company's plans.
South Korea is one of Asia's most technologically advanced
nations. Multimegabit-per-second broadband internet is available
almost everywhere and mobile network operators have been offering
commercial third-generation services since 2002.
