Gigabit Internet Project (GTTH)

1. Develop “tangible”, “quality”, “high-capacity” Giga-level services and provide pilot projects to pilot subscribers

2. Develop commercial technologies such as FTTH-PON and HFC-RFoG and apply use of pilot network to construct Giga-Internet network in major cities

3. Establish environment to improve private network, quality management and legal system for Giga-Internet services

Utilize ultra-broadband subscriber network technologies (FTTH, HFC, etc.) and lay a foundation for Giga-Internet by 2012, which provides maximum 1Gbps services to users, to efficiently accommodate information that is becoming higher in quality and capacity.

3D multi-angle IPTV, N-Screen, Smart Viewer, 3D remote education, medical services, etc.

Build broadband networks in rural areas (small towns) to provide high speed internet service, and provide applications specifically developed for rural residents

• Towns with less than 50 households : matching fund from central gov. local gov. and telco operators (1:1:2)

• Towns with more than 50 households : government loans & telco M&A conditions

Objective

* Built with Telco operators’ funds only ** Applications developed to process image information *** Applications include Home safe guard, Agricultural training app., CCTV for towns, e-health, App. to manage agriculture & live stocks **** Currently reviewing applications designed to meet the demand of rural residents including WiFi Zones
