D2#09 Yong Kyung Lee - Keynote speech WCS2009
World Copyright Summit
9-10 June 2009, Ronald Reagan Center, Washington DC, USA
Keynote: Driving the Digital Future –
Is South Korea Leading the Way?
Al Gore may have dreamt of “information superhighways” in 1994, but South Korea’s done it. In just a few decades, the Republic of Korea has gone from one of countries with the lowest telephone penetration rate in the world to become a leader in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Its broadband network is the most developed in the world, while mobile phone has an estimated penetration rate of 93.4%. Yong-Kyung Lee, one of the architects of what was described as “the Korea miracle” when he was the former head of Korea Telecom – and now a respected legislator in his country –, will deliver a glimpse of what tomorrow may look like if the world follows Korea’s way.
