The Telecommunications Revolution in Korea

By James F. Larson

Although the arrival of the information age in Korea coincided with similar developments in other Asian countries, the particular political, cultural and economic context on the Korean peninsula renders this story unique. In the 1980s Korea's basic telecommunications infrastructure grew faster than that of virtually any other country in the world. This book synthesizes existing research on the topic, gathers new documentary data, and extends the analysis through a series of interviews with leaders from government, industry, research institutes and academia in Korea.
