SK Telecom handing over $270 million (more) to Helio

As if receiving $200 million from SK Telecom and EarthLink back in July wasn’t enough, Helio is now set to accept (up to) a $270 million check from SK Telecom. According to EarthLink, SK Telecom will “invest up to $270 million in Helio,” and as expected, EarthLink was “very pleased” with the decision — you know, considering that it won’t be forced to cough up any more dough at the moment while still maintaining “substantial ownership interest in Helio’s future.” Most interesting, however, is the tidbit that mentions the parents’ plans, as EarthLink and SK Telecom are reportedly “in discussions to amend their existing agreements to reflect the additional investment by SK Telecom and their future governance of Helio.” Gotta pay to play, we suppose.
