To identify emerging best practices to nurture this ecosystem, this volume analyzes the Republic of Korea and other leading broadband markets. It identifies three building blocks to support the growth of the broadband ecosystem: defining visionary but flexible strategies, using competition to promote market growth, and facilitating demand. An important but often neglected building block is demand facilitation. This includes raising awareness about the benefits of broadband and improving affordability and accessibility for the largest number of users. Successful countries have often focused on creating a suite of useful applications that increase the relevance of broadband to the widest base of users. Programs to mainstream information and communication technology (ICT) use in education, health, or government have been common.CC BY 3.0 IGO3GACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCESS TO NETWORKSACCESS TO SERVICESACCESS TO THE INTERNETADSLADVERTISINGAPPLICATION DEVELOPMENTAPPLICATION PROVIDERSASYMMETRIC DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINEATATMAUTOMATIONBACKBONEBANDWIDTHBANDWIDTHSBASICBEST PRACTICEBEST PRACTICESBROADBANDBROADBAND ACCESSBROADBAND COMMUNICATIONBROADBAND COMMUNICATION SYSTEMSBROADBAND CONNECTIONSBROADBAND CONNECTIVITYBROADBAND NETWORKBROADBAND NETWORKSBROADBAND SERVICESBROADBAND WIRELESS ACCESSBROADCASTBROADCASTSBUSINESSBUSINESS MODELSBUSINESS OPPORTUNITIESBUSINESS PERFORMANCEBUSINESSESCABLE MODEMCABLE TELEVISIONCABLE TVCAPABILITIESCAPACITY BUILDINGCDMACELL PHONESCODE DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESSCOMMUNICATIONCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIESCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYCOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKCOMMUNITIESCOMMUNITY ACCESSCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPONENTSCOMPUTER HARDWARECOMPUTERSCOMPUTINGCONNECTION SPEEDSCONSUMER DEMANDCONTENT PROVIDERSCOPYINGCOPYRIGHTCUSTOMERSDATADATA COMMUNICATIONDATA DISTRIBUTIONDATA NETWORKSDATA PACKETSDATA STREAMDATA TRANSFERDATA TRANSMISSIONDATABASEDIGITALDIGITAL ASSISTANTDIGITAL CONTENTDIGITAL DIVIDEDIGITAL NETWORKDIGITAL OPPORTUNITYDIGITAL SUBSCRIBERE-COMMERCEE-COMMERCE TRANSACTIONSE-GOVERNMENTE-LEARNINGE-MAILE-PROCUREMENTECONOMIC ACTIVITIESECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTENABLING ENVIRONMENTFAXFEEDBACKFINANCIAL SERVICESFOLKSONOMIESFUNCTIONALITYGLOBAL COMPETITIVENESSGLOBAL INFORMATION SOCIETYGLOBAL MARKETGOVERNMENT SERVICESGRAPHICSHARDWAREHIGH-SPEEDHIGH-SPEED COMMUNICATIONSHTMLICTIDINDEXESINFORMATIONINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINNOVATIONINNOVATIONSINSTALLATIONINSTITUTIONSINTEGRATED SERVICES DIGITAL NETWORKINTELLECTUAL PROPERTYINTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROTECTIONINTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONINTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATION UNIONINTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERSINTERNET SERVICESINTEROPERABILITYIPISDNITUKNOWLEDGE ECONOMYLANLEGAL FRAMEWORKLICENSESLINKLINKSLINUXLOCAL AREA NETWORKMANUFACTURINGMANUFACTURING INDUSTRYMARKET PRICESMARKET SHAREMARKET SHARESMASS MARKETMATERIALMOBILE COMMUNICATIONSMOBILE DEVICEMOBILE DEVICESMOBILE NETWORKSMOBILE PHONESMOBILE TELEPHONEMOBILE TELEPHONESMOBILE TELEPHONYMONITORINGMONITORSMOVEMENT OF GOODSMULTIMEDIAMULTIPLE ACCESSNATURAL RESOURCESNETWORKNETWORKINGNETWORKSNEW TECHNOLOGIESNEXT GENERATIONNUMBER OF USERSOPEN ACCESSPCPDAPDASPDFPENETRATION RATEPERFORMANCEPERSONAL COMPUTERPERSONAL COMPUTERSPERSONAL DIGITAL ASSISTANTPHOTOPOLICY FORMULATIONPOLICY FRAMEWORKSPRICEPRICESPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE INVESTMENTSPRIVATE NETWORKSPRIVATE PARTNERSHIPSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTPRIVATE SECTORSPRODUCTIVITYPROFITPROTOCOLQUALITY OF SERVICEQUERIESQUERYR&DRADIOREAL TIMEREGULATORY FRAMEWORKSRESULTSSANSEARCHSEARCH ENGINESERVERSSERVICE CONTRACTSERVICE PROVIDERSITESSOFTWARESOFTWARE APPLICATIONSSTANDARDIZATIONSYSTEMSYSTEMSTARGETTAX FORMSTECHNOLOGYTELECOMTELECOMMUNICATIONTELECOMMUNICATION CONNECTIONSTELECOMMUNICATIONSTELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANIESTELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRYTELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKTELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKSTELECOMMUNICATIONS POLICYTELEPHONETELEPHONE NETWORKSTELEPHONESTELEPHONYTELEVISIONTERMINALSTRADE INFORMATIONTRANSMISSIONUNIVERSAL ACCESSUNIVERSAL SERVICEUNIVERSAL SERVICE OBLIGATIONSUSERUSERSUSESVIDEOVIDEOSWEBWEB APPLICATIONSWEB SITEWEB SITESWEBSITESWIRELESSWIRELESS ACCESSWIRELESS CONNECTIONSWIRELESS INTERNETWIRELESS TECHNOLOGIESWIRELESS TECHNOLOGYWORKSTATIONSWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-8419-0
