South Korea already has over 10 million broadband Internet connections giving it the highest penetration rate of such services. Over the three-year plan, the government will encourage KT, Hanaro and other ISPs to invest 13.3 trillion won (US$10.9 billion) in their broadband networks. The government will provide loans to cover some of that investment. http://www.koreaherald.co.kr/SITE/data/html_dir/2002/11/07/200211070025.asp http://www.mic.go.kr/eng/jsp/main.jsp 06-Nov-02     No video on this topic yet.. contact us to present your views.
