Contributions of Networks to Socio-Economic Development
A network is not simply a physical infrastructure for communications transmission. It is also a socioeconomic infrastructure that creates new markets and societies, thereby enabling industrial and social development. The effects of network investment hold a close relationship with the increase of gross domestic product per capita of most OECD countries. Network investment contributes to the growth of GDP by increasing labor productivity and academic capacity, which is facilitated by network construction and intensification. Korea has made diverse efforts to deploy an advanced network infrastructure that complies with the sophisticated demands of knowledge-information-based communications services. By constructing next generation networks that encompass broadcasting, Internet, and communications in a converged form, Korea will be able to satisfy the demands and, further, contribute to the improvement of industry and the enhancement of citizens quality of life.
