A Success Factor for ISP
-
Information Super Highway is important matter for
networking global connectivity
-
But, Internal matter is more important than the
outside/international connectivity
-
Also, demand for the high speed network connectivity
is essential -> Demand / Supply chain
-
We have to create a virtuous cycle between them
-
For this, my talk - one is a fact and the other is an idea

Success Factors of Korea’s Broadband
Implementing
Consistent &
Strong Policies
Promoting
Market
Competitions
The government took part in all processes of developing
national ICT infrastructure as a control tower from planning
to implementation.
The government took a leading role in implementing the
policies consistently and strongly, as it set up goals
directions, implementation frameworks and financing
methods critical to the development of national ICT
infrastructure
The government encouraged market competition among
service providers so that the users can enjoy high quality
services in low price.
The government supervised the time and the place of players’
competition, and even guaranteed a certain amount of
revenues for service providers. As a result, the market could
grow quickly, the players could gain strong competitiveness
that enabled them to survive after the market-opening

Success Factors of Korea’s Broadband
A variety of ICT services utilizing the network were emerged
continuously, improving the quality of people’s lives.
Narrowing Gap
between ICT
Infrastructures
and Services
Virtuous
Investment Cycle
The government consistently built national ICT infrastructure
with a long-term perspective, and based on this
infrastructure, diverse ICT services developed and
popularized, again driving the advancement of the
infrastructure. Many government ICT projects including egovernment, u-health, and national ICT education were
implemented in line with the development of ICT
infrastructure
The government actively supports the businesses building
the network by creating the regulatory framework and
making a lead investment.
The government bore the risk and reduced the uncertainty of
building new infrastructure and adopting new technologies
by making a lead investment. Such government leadership
attracted the businesses to quickly adopt and diffuse new
technologies and infrastructure by the businesses

What is the DKB ?
A cyber knowledge community enabling the sharing of knowledge assets of
ASEAN countries
Korea
Myanmar
Laos
Vietnam
Philippines
1. Build a DKB organically linking
its three main components
- Digital Knowledge Center (DKC)
- Digital Knowledge Library( (DKL)
- Digital Knowledge Infrastructure (DKI)
Thailand
2. Build active and close cooperation
among participating Asian nations
and organizations
Cambodia
Singapore
Brunei
3. Build a sustainable knowledge sharing
network
Indonesia
Malaysia
The country that IAC’s built in
4. Build a DKB with minimum cost
Component of DKB – Digital Knowledge Center
A strategic ICT cooperation center in each member countries, in which
enhanced online applications such as distance learning or Tele conference
are provided through an advanced research network installed in the
Information Access Center
Full Operation of DKCs
Enhancement of DKCs
TEIN
Advancement of IACs,
Initiation of DKCs
- Serving as full-fledged hubs of
national informatization consulting
and support
- Broader range of support for ICT business
- Establishment of DKCs in key ASEAN cooperation
-- Serving as the focal points of the
countries
- General informatization education & - Active use of video conferencing and ICT human network
- Contributing toward the creation of a
provision of information access
seminars
sustainable ICT-based cultural community
opportunities
- Provision of e-learning
- I nformatization education targeting
the general public
Transforming IACs into DKCs as Main hubs of
the Global Digital Knowledge Belt
Component of DKB- Digital Knowledge Infra
A high-speed R&D network called Trans-Eurasia Information Network that
links developing countries in Asian region, allowing 155M~10G platform for
advanced ICT applications.
TEIN3 그림
1. Asian countries that have DKCs
and organizations that already
have TEIN will extend their
networks to DKCs
- Vietnam, Indonesia, Laos
Philippines
2. Asian countries that have
DKCs, but are not yet connected
to TEIN will be connected
- Cambodia, Bangladesh
Sri Lanka
3. DKCs in worldwide locations will
be linked together
Component of DKB: Digital Knowledge Library
A knowledge base located in DKC that contains knowledge resources
created by digitizing ASEAN countries’ history, culture and technologies,
and allows sharing and exchange of these knowledge contents through
websites
1. DKL will be built in an individual
country by digitizing and
designing knowledge contents
- facilitating use and sharing of
digital resources
2. DKLs in Asian countries will be
linked for knowledge sharing and
joint R&E activities
3. DKLs will be further developed
into DKB allowing creation of
regional knowledge & economic
community in Asia
Benefits of DKB
v DKB enables sharing of digital knowledge resources and
ICT infrastructure among ASEAN countries to
create new values, and bring a new chance for social and
economic growth in the region
v DKB also assists in resolving impending issues such as
economic challenges, social conflicts, and environmental
problems in Asia through a regional knowledge community
v By..
Ø DKC providing advanced ICT applications for intensive communication
& cooperation
Ø DKI providing a high speed network as a base for transfer of
knowledge resources including ICT policies, technologies, and R&D
Ø DKL providing a DB of digital contents made of each country’s unique
knowledge assets
v Catch two rabbits at once by combining them together !!
- National and International Infrastructure together - Infrastructure and Contents(Service) together -
Conclusions
• Close Networking among ICT Ministries in ASEAN region
- As governments are directly and indirectly involved in ICT development in
ASEAN countries, their collaboration (ex. in setting the common goals, making a
master plan, doing global pilot services) is the key for the success of the project
• Government Intervention for the Market Development
- As the success of the project largely depend on the creation of the demand
on broadband service, all players need to work together to share knowledge and
analyze the markets to make relevant strategies to create the demand
• Government should take the lead in planning and implementing the project
- Since many issues needs to be discussed and decided among countries, the
government who represents the interest of the people, not the private
company, should play a main role in planning and implementing the project.
- In addition, only government can reorganize the laws/regulations so that the
project can be carried out without problems.
- We are ready to share experiences and support -
