Business Week Asia reports on innovative mobile services found in Korea. [via The Institute of the Future]
Next month, South Korean laundry stores will be keeping records of laundry orders and delivery through mobile phones.
"SK. Samsung Electronics and a startup solution provider have teamed up to roll out the service in Korea, where deliverymen from laundry stores visit house to house to pick up and drop clothes.
SK, which boasts one of the world’s high-speed mobile networks, will charge laundry stores 11 cents per transaction on top of a $25 monthly fee allowing up to 1 gigabytes of data traffic. Then, SK will split the income with startup Keyprize that developed the business model and will run servers for the service. Samsung came up with a smart phone for the service."
