HSDPA and WiBro
by Sang-Bin Lee 12 Jun '06

12 Jun '06

A pair of futuristic wireless technologies are competing to become Korea’s mainstream mode of connecting people on the move to the Internet. SK Telecom, the country’s foremost mobile operator, commercially launched the handset- based high-speed download packet access (HSDPA) early last week for the first time in the world. KT, the main rival of SK Telecom as the primary fixed-line carrier, is going through beta trials of WiBro, short for wireless broadband, with the aim of commercializing it next month. Both HSDPA and WiBro, called 3.5-generation techniques, enable people on the road to remain hooked up to the Internet at the speed of the current landline broadband. The two standards are similar in many respects - in addition to the fast data transmission speed, mobile reception is of a similar quality. Each has its own strengths and shortcomings and evaluation on their prospects are differing. Market observers are also divided into two opposing camps on the issue. In the future it will become how? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------- Nation: The Republic of Korea Name: sang-bin Lee E-mail address: krieg-spiel(a)hanmail.net <http://www.korea.com> <http://mail.korea.com/webbinder/>

TO AoIR list members My name is Jun-Hye KIM. I introduce internet messenger service of South Korea. Do you know Nate-On? It’s an instant messenger service offered by SK Communications. You know that the most favorite messenger service is MSN in the world. But a south Korea does not. More Koreans using Nate-On than those using MSN Messenger now. For the first time in March, Nate-On edged out MSN for the top spot. About 10.7 million people used Nate-On, compare to 10.65 that used MSN. Especially since MSN is so popular around the world. I hope that you visit Nate.com and enjoy Nate-ON.

[AIR-I] 3D imaging monitor
by Jun-Hye KIM 12 Jun '06

12 Jun '06

DEAR ALL Sharp has released the first monitor that can change from 2D to 3D imaging with the flick of a switch. Its first customers are expected to be professionals who use 3D technology for enhanced productivity, and who are willing to spend the $1500 on the display. Medical imaging, CAD (Computer Aided Design), mapping and oil exploration are areas that use 3D. But Sharp is hoping that the 15-inch 3D monitor will soon be marketed to video game and movie fans, as there are a number of people who wear 3D glasses to play some computer games. To achieve the 3D image, the monitor uses two LCD panels: the front panel displays the image while the back one angles the light coming from behind it, sending alternate columns to the observer’s left and right eyes.

comparative cross-national diffusion of the internet
by catherine middleton 12 Jun '06

12 Jun '06

Hi Nik, Take a look at the International Telecommunication Union's Internet Reports The Internet Story: ITU Internet Reports 1997-2003, http://www.itu.int/pub/S-POL-IR.ISTORY-2005/en International Telecommunication Union. (2005). The internet of things. Geneva: ITU. International Telecommunication Union. (2004). The portable internet. Geneva: ITU. International Telecommunication Union. (2003). Birth of broadband. Geneva: ITU. Also look at the Promoting Broadband website. The various country case studies provide background information on general internet adoption, not just broadband. http://www.itu.int/osg/spu/ni/promotebroadband/ You may find some OECD publications useful too, e.g OECD communications outlook. Paris: OECD., published every other year (2005, 2003, etc.) For Canada, the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Road Map provides a detailed account of ICT initiatives in Canada. http://www3.fis.utoronto.ca/research/iprp/cracin/policy/e-policy_map.html CA*Net Institute. (2001). A nation goes online. Ottawa: CANARIE. http://www.canarie.ca/press/publications/ango.pdf I've got a searchable bibliography of references on internet (especially broadband) adoption at http://www.broadbandresearch.ca/endnote/endnote.php. The interface isn't perfect, but you might find something useful by searching "anywhere" on isp or adoption or picking a specific country name. Good luck with this research. catherine middleton >Message: 2 >Date: Thu, 08 Jun 2006 15:41:57 +0200 >From: Nik John <nikjohn(a)mscc.huji.ac.il> >Subject: [Air-l] comparative cross-national diffusion of the internet >To: air-l(a)listserv.aoir.org >Message-ID: <0J0J000IVKM9PJ10(a)mxout4.netvision.net.il> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > >Plenty of histories of the Internet in the US have been written.
