 South Korea - Broadband Market - Overview, Statistics and Forecasts
Synopsis
South Korea has the world's highest number of broadband services per capita. By mid-2010, close to 35% of the population and 85% of households were broadband subscribers. South Korea has the highest number of FttX subscribers in the region. Hanaro's acquisition of Korea Thrunet in early 2005 positioned Hanaro to better compete against KT Corp. Competition remained strong and mobile operator SK Telecom acquired a controlling stake in Hanaro in 2008, renaming the company SK Broadband. The merger of LG Dacom and LG Powercom into LG Telecom has greatly increased the operator's ability to compete more effectively against the market leader KT Corp. 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 home-grown WiBro. VoIP and IPTV services are also covered. In addition to providing a full set of broadband statistics by technology, broadband forecasts up to 2015 are included.

Synopsis
The 2009/2010 period has seen significant developments in the South Korean telecommunications market among which has been restructuring amongst the major operators. Although the fixed-line telephone market in South Korea continues to be dominated by the incumbent KT, VoIP services are becoming increasingly popular as operators bundle services in a bid to stop the decline in ARPU. SK Broadband and SK Telecom have kept separate on paper although in practice the companies behave as a full-services operator. In 2009, in order to be better positioned against the fierce competition, KT Corp merged in the operations of its mobile entity KT Freetel. LG Telecom quickly followed suit and in 2010 LG Telecom had merged its operations with LG Dacom and LG Telecom. Both LG Telecom and KT had become full-services operators offering extensive converged services. This report examines the major operators in South Korea as they position themselves for broadcasting-communications convergence.
