Broadband infrastructure and Korea’s digital development
Kwang-Suk Lee examines the policy and historical context behind South Korea’s expansion of broadband infrastructure. The account centers on the Korean Information Infrastructure project, launched in 1995 to build a nationwide high-speed backbone, and follows the project’s later evolution as public infrastructure was redesigned. This framing connects the development of network systems with broader questions about how a society builds and adapts digital infrastructure over time. The description’s “broadband heaven” label is presented as the subject of investigation, not simply as a conclusion to accept at face value.
Based on publisher information and book metadata.
This book investigates the contextual factors that led to Korean society becoming 'broadband heaven' - the most wired nation in the world - by scrutinizing the historical contexts surrounding the Korean Information Infrastructure (KII) project (1995-2005), which aimed to establish a nationwide high-speed backbone network, as well as its later evolution, which involved redesigning the public infrastructure.
