LG Dacom reaches one million VoIP subscribers

South Korean wireline and broadband provider LG Dacom has announced that it has signed up more than one million subscribers to its VoIP service, according to Telecoms Korea. The operator claimed that the service, launched in June 2007, has attracted customers despite the high level of saturation in the market as it offered the lowest call rates and additional benefits including free calls among subscribers. With mobile number portability (MNP) set to allow fixed line customers to switch to VoIP services while retaining their number next month, LG Dacom has also increased it sales targets for 2008 and 2009; the operator aims to reach 1.4 million subscribers by 31 December 2008, rising to 2.6 million by the end of next year.
