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:
“To give money to a sufferer is only a come-off. It is only a postponement of the real payment, a bribe paid for silence, a credit system in which a paper promise to pay answers for the time instead of liquidation. We owe to man higher succors than food and fire. We owe to man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
