  3. Social Impacts • Highest Penetration of the Broadband Internet100% of Total House Holds use Broad Band Internet. Broad Band Internet Service became a Universal Service. • Successful Completion of Seamless and Shadow Free Digital Mobile Infrastructure.The First Ubiquitous Digital Communication Environment. • Combination of the above Two Digital Networks completes the Most Essential Infrastructure for Knowledge Based Information Society.

  4. HOW KOREA DID IT • FOUR STAGES • BOOTSTRAP STAGE • HOW TO GET OUT OF THE POVERTY CYCLE. • BUILDING NATIONAL CONFIDENCE IN ICT . • INFORMATIZATI0N STAGE • HOW TO PERSUADE CONSERVETIVES. • WHERE TO START E-GOVERNMENT. • BUILDING UBIQUITOUS NETWORK • DEVELOPMENT OF CDMA TECHNOLOGY. • COMPLETING SEAMLESS DIGITAL NETWORK BY COMPETITION. • PUBLIC PARTICIPATION STAGE • HOW TO MAKE PUBLIC PARTICIPATE WILLINGLY. • WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATION. May 18. 2011 Seungtaik Yang Ph.D. KAIST

  5. BOOTSTRAP STAGE(1) • Policy Issues: • How to build a sustainable loop of TechnologyDevelopment and Industrialization when there isno Technology Base and no Financial Resources. • Solution: • Use Potential Market which is under government control, such as telecommunications for source of R/D fund and for products of their own use. • Let local industry produce the products. • Use of the products generate more revenue, part of which can be used for further Technology Development. • Thus completing a positive sustainable feedback loop. May 18, 2011 Seungtaik Yang Ph.D. KAIST

  6. BOOTSTRAP STAGE(2) • FLAGSHIP PROJECT: TDX Project • Development of a Digital Electronic Switching System • Project Period: 1982 ~1986 • Total R/D Cost: US$40,000,000.(production setup cost excluded) • R/D Manpower: 1,500 man-years • Partners: Samsung Electronics LG Information and Comm. Daewoo Telecom. Oriental Precision May 18, 2011 Seungtaik Yang Ph.D. KAIST

  7. BOOTSTRAP STAGE(3) • IMPACTS OF TDX PROJECT • Successfully Built Confidence in Local Technology making it easier to take on ensuing large technology development projects. • By 1988, telephone can be installed within one day after order. • By 1990, Korea becomes an exporting country of Digital Electronic Switching System. May 18, 2011 Seungtaik Yang Ph.D. KAIST

  8. BOOTSTRAP STAGE(4) • Encouraged by the Success of the TDX Project, Following 2 Mega Projects could be launched without too much opposition. • 4 MDRAM Project • Development of an Indigenous Technology for production of 4 mega bit DRAM. • TiComp Project • Development of Main Server Computer for Government Administration. May 18, 2011 Seungtaik Yang Ph.D. KAIST

  9. INFORMATIZATION(1) • e-Government • Status • Organized Opposition from EDPS Center of Government. • Inter-Department Competition. • No Budget Allocation • Solution • Distributed Networked Solution instead of existing Centralized Solution. A New Law was enacted to reflect this concept. • Project be financed by non-government fund initially, then government pays back by use rate. This avoided budgeting the development projects, annual use rate already budgeted was enough to pay back the financed cost in 10 years. May 18, 2011 Seungtaik Yang Ph.D. KAIST

  10. INFORMATIZATION(2) • 1st PHASE -1986: 5 NETWORK PROJECTS • Administration Computer Network • Resident Registration Administration • Real Estate Administration • Automobile Administration • Customs Service Administration • Employment Service Administration • Economic Statistics Administration • National Security Computer Network • National Health Care Insurance Computer Network • Education Computer Network • Research Computer Network May 18, 2011 Seungtaik Yang Ph.D. KAIST

  11. INFORMATIZATION(3) • 1st Phase went into fullservice by 1991. • 2nd Phase was expansion of computerization into other administration areas. • 3rd Phase was mainly for G4C (Government for Citizen) Programs, that began services in 2002. • Korea is now ranked #1 for UN’s e-GovernmentReadiness Index. May 18, 2011 Seungtaik Yang Ph.D. KAIST

  12. UBIQUITOUS NETWORK(1) • CDMA Mobile System Development • Saturation of Analog Mobile System. • Needed Leapfrogging in Digital Mobile Technology. • Project Details: • Period: 1991 ~ 1995 • R/D Cost: US$110,000,000. • Manpower: 1,042 man-years • Partners: Samsung Electronics Hyundai Electronics LG Information and Comm. May 18, 2011 Seungtaik Yang Ph.D. KAIST

  13. UBIQUITOUS NETWORK(2) • In April 1996, World’s First Commercial CDMA Mobile Communications System in Service. • In 1997, Heavy Competition among 5 carriers. • In 2000, Completion of Seamless Ubiquitous Digital Network. • In 2006, Nationwide 3G Services. • In 2011, Nationwide WiBro 4G Services. May 18, 2011 Seungtaik Yang Ph.D. KAIST

  14. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION • In 1997, Asian Financial Crisis generated many jobless people. To help these to get new job, 10 million Internet training program initiated. These people became main source of Korea’s informatizing power. • They made Korea the first country to make ADSL a commercial product, with which broad band network via telephone line became possible. • Thus use of Internet became a part of everyday life. Therefore people in Korea invest in broadband internet out of their own pocket competitively. This is why Korean government did not spend any budget for expansion of broadband internet.

  15. Summary • This is the Summary of a Story how Korea worked so hard for last 30 some years to complete an Infrastructure and Test Bed for the Knowledge based Information Society. • We Hoped that The Test Bed would Automatically Develop or Revolutionize Services and Technologies for New Digital Industries. • But We are learning that Creation of New Digital Industry requires a lot more than a Test Bed, and it requires Participation of Many Creative EntrepreneursWho Dare to Try out Their Ideas. May 18, 2011 Seungtaik Yang Ph.D. KAIST

  16. Future Issues • Economical Broadband Mobile System: • To Revolutionize Video Distribution System. • To Create and Poster Multimedia Industry. • To Provide the Ubiquitous Computing Environment. • Creation of New Digital Industry: • To Poster Prosumer Environment. • To Promote Active Participation of All Citizen. • Pro Business Environment: • Improvement of Digital Test Bed for creation of New Business. • Continuous Improvement of Business Environment to encouragecreative young minds to start new businesses. • Environment to nurture Collective Intelligence. • Creation of Information Age Educational System: • Information Age is here already, but Industrial Age Educational System is still here.
