South Korea has the world’s highest number of broadband services per capita. By mid-2011, over 35% of the population and 85% of households were broadband subscribers. FttX accounted for 55% of total subscriptions. Since 2006, Korea’s policy emphasis has been on completing a BcN with wireline speeds of 50-100Mb/s per household and 1-2Mb/s on wireless connections. The plan moving forward is for a UBcN (Ultra Broadband convergence Network) with 1Gb/s speeds on fixed lines or 10Mb/s on wireless by 2012/13.This report provides an overview of South Korea’s broadband market, government initiatives and technologies including cable modem, DSL, Fibre-to-the-Home and Apartment-LAN, and South Korea’s the home-grown WiBro.
