service at 10 times the speed of the current service by 2012. The
government and the communications industry plan to invest some W34
trillion over the next five years in the project. The Korea
Communications Commission finalized plans for Internet services at an
average speed of 1 Gbps through fixed lines and 10 Mbps through
wireless. One Gbps allows users to download a 120-minute film in just
12 seconds. The aim is to give users seamless access to
large-capacity, high-quality convergence services such as IPTV.
Although the super-speed internet will be available mainly in large
cities, fixed-line subscribers in smaller towns in Korea will also
have access to 50 to 100 Mbps Internet service allowing them to watch
IPTV programs without a hitch.
