Evolving Beyond Broadband: The Future of Telecom Business in Korea

This overview delves into the transformation of the telecommunications sector in Korea, examining the shift from traditional PSTN and leased lines to innovative broadband and mobile services. The 1990s marked a golden age for telecom, yet by the early 2000s, competition, commoditization, and market saturation began challenging established revenue streams. With growing consumer expectations and the advent of IP technology, telecom providers are compelled to evolve from mere access services to comprehensive application solutions, paving the way for a new era of value-added services and enhanced customer experiences.
