DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “South
Korea – Fixed Broadband Market – Statistics and Analyses”
report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s
offering.
South Korea has the world’s highest number of broadband services per
capita. Korea’s policy emphasis has been to establish an Ultra Broadband
convergence Network (UBcN) with 1Gb/s speeds on fixed lines and 10Mb/s
on wireless.
Fixed-line broadband market penetration has grown slowly over the past
five years in a highly mature market. Over the next five years to 2023
growth is expected to continue to increase slowly.
The South Korean Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) announced the
establishment of a new fund specifically targeting technologies and
projects that can provide data rates of 10Gbps, with plans to reach 50%
adoption rate of the super-fast speeds by 2022.

government initiatives and technologies including cable modem, DSL,
FttH, Apartment-LAN, and WiBro. IPTV statistics are included as well as
broadband forecasts to 2023 and statistics on market share of the major

The Korean government has developed and demonstrated broadband-based
services like e-health, e-learning, e-government and u-City. E-health
services are provided to remote island regions of Korea. In this way,
broadband has been used as a method to narrow the gap between rich and
poor and among classes and regions.
