Digital Development in Korea explores the role of digital information and communications technology in South Korea's development, starting with and building upon the crucial developments of the 1980s. Its perspective draws on the information society concept and on a conceptual model of strategic restructuring of telecommunications. It also draws on firsthand experience in formulating and implementing policies. The analysis identifies aspects of the Korean experience from which developing countries around the world might benefit.
Oh and Larson describe the revolutionary developments of the 1980s including the TDX electronic switching system, a major surge forward in semiconductors, the start of privatization and color television and the thoroughgoing restructuring of Korea's telecommunications sector. They further explore government leadership, the growing private sector and international trade pressures in the diffusion of broadband, mobile communication, and convergence toward a ubiquitous network society. The role of education in these developments is explored in detail, along with both the positive and negative aspects of Korea's vibrant new digital media. The book also looks at Korea's growing international involvement, its role in efforts to build a world information society, and finally, its future place in cyberspace.
This book will be of interest to students, scholars and policy makers interested in communications technologies, Asian/Korean Studies and development studies.
Dr. Myung Oh is a former Deputy Prime Minister who held four ministerial positions under four different administrations, beginning with service as Minister of Communications in the 1980s. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stony Brook University and is acclaimed as the godfather of Korea's telecommunications revolution.

To all those who contributed to Korea's ICT development and also to the young people and leaders who are striving for economic growth in developing countries around the world.
South Korea has been a phenomenal economic and technological success. But why? How could a country burdened by occupation, hot and cold wars, and military rule rise to prosperity, democracy, and technology? Despite decades of open communication, to the outsider the Korean governmental and business decision-making process is still somewhat of a mystery. Language, culture, and a patriotic desire to shine combine to leave the outsider guessing why and how things were accomplished. As a result, South Korea's story has been an inkblot into which others project their fantasies. They claim Korea as an exemplar for their pet theory. Capitalism. Industrial Policy. Oligopoly. Secondary education. Universities. Science. Social cohesion. Export orientation. And on and on. For a while it seemed that those who knew did not write, and many of those who wrote did not know.
