Over the past year, we acquired a position in SK Telecom. They are the
dominant wireless provider in Korea, with 52% market share. Operating in
one of the most advanced wireless markets in the world, with a penetration
rate of 85%, SK Telecom has been able to grow its sales by low single
digits and earnings at mid-teen rates. Growth has primarily been via data
services and other new applications, and has more than offset the decline
of voice average revenue per user (ARPU). The company generates good
return on capital, with 5-year and 10-year return on an equity of 25% and
19%, respectively, and a steady stream of cash flow.
