SK Telecom effectively taking over Helio

November 09th, 2007 | Category: Mobile Technology

Filed under: ,

We knew Earthlink and SK Telecom were both planning on reinvesting up to $100M each into struggling joint venture Helio back in July, and it looks like all that recent talk about “revised governance” was on point — the deal will effectively shift management control of Helio away from Earthlink and to SKT for the first time in Helio’s history. SKT has already allocated $70M to make the move, and it’s also committed an additional $100M to future handset development and marketing. No word on what other changes SKT plans to make, but we’d happy to see Helio score a much-deserved second chance.
