It said the subscription rate, that includes installment costs for the equipment and basic telecommunications fees, has been set at 66,000 won (US$58.5) per month for those who agree to use the equipment for a minimum of two years.
For those who opt for a three-year installment program, the monthly cost has been set at 56,000 won although exact fees depend on if customers apply for extra services.
The Android-running Galaxy Tab features a 7-inch screen, which is larger than those used on smartphones, and boasts enhanced mobility compared to laptop computers as they come without keyboards. Samsung partnered with domestic companies in education, movie, music, entertainment and magazine sectors to offer greater content services for users.
