WIDERTHAN FILES FOR IPO ON NASDAQ

I remember back in 2000 when I first heard about an ATKearney project advising SKTelecom. This project led to the creation of WiderThan, which is now filing for an IPO, but their business is a one-trick pony. A vast majority of their revenue comes from its incestuous relationship with SKT. It is a huge pony, but how much growth is there with WiderThan's business? I know they are working to expand beyond Korea, but how successful will it be? More from Rafat:
