Just as IBM Corp told us at the time, Data General Corp’s claim that Daewoo Telecom Ltd would stop distributing RS/6000s in South Korea following its deal to sell Data General’s NUMA systems into government markets turns out to have been pure puff ( CI No 2,958). Daewoo Telecom Ltd, a unit of $55,000m South Korean Daewoo Group, last week expanded its agreement with IBM so that it can now sell the entire RS/6000 range, and sell them outside South Korea if it wishes. Daewoo has been deploying RS/ 6000s as the DTC-4000 in the South Korean market since 1993.
