In spite of the strong pressure it has faced from Korea's top mobile carriers, mobile messaging company Kakao Inc. has launched its free mobile VoIP service KakaoTalk on Monday this week in its native hometown. Two weeks ago, the company introduced its free call feature to its users worldwide. The company said that the operator resistance was one reasons why the the launching of KakaoTalk with the free call feature in Korea was put on hold.
While the app is very promising, Korean operators were not happy and feared that the additional usage will put a significant strain on their data network.
