Mosquitoes bugged by mobile rings
SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea\'s top mobile phone operator is offering a new service that allows cellphone users to download a sound it says repels troublesome mosquitoes.
The sound should be capable of clearing the insects within a range of one metre, said SK Telecom, which claimed it had worked during tests.
Mosquitoes are a common irritant during the hot, humid summers in Korea.
Subscribers will be able to download the sound, which will cost 3,000 won (1.5 pounds), via the firm\'s wireless Internet service from Monday. The sound plays constantly and is faintly audible to the human ear.
Repelling the bugs will use up to 30 percent more of the phone\'s battery power, said SK, which controls more than half of Asia\'s third-largest mobile market.
