Credit Rating
S&P Rating “A” (Nov.26, 2010) As of the end of December 2010, KT received an “A” rating from the global credit rating agency S&P. S&P’s “A” rating is given to companies evaluated as being of “Investment Grade” status, and applies to the 6 highest levels among the 23 rating categories at S&P. KT's A rating was cut from "stable" to "negative" in June 2012 due to competition from "free mobile voice-over-Internet protocol (mVoIP) services such as Kakao Talk's voice talk service." This "could potentially threaten KT Corp.'s wireless and fixed-line voice revenues."

Famous quotes containing the word credit:
“The thief steals from himself. The swindler swindles himself. For the real price is knowledge and virtue, whereof wealth and credit are signs. These signs, like paper money, may be counterfeited or stolen, but that which they represent, namely, knowledge and virtue, cannot be counterfeited or stolen.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
