An executive of KT said in a special interview with The Korea IT Times on the occasion of the ITU Telecom Asia 2004 that the company will aim to promote itself as having the ability to enrich ordinary life through its ubiquitous approach to delivering telecomm services.

To realize this goal, KT plans to strengthen its marketing support, boost its corporate image through the KT Group's state-of-the-art wire/wireless integration service as well as new technology exhibitions. Further, it is company strategy promote the convergence of broadband services.

Lee Yong-geong, president of KT once said, "Broadband has been employed mainly in wired communication up to now, but now wireless data communication is rapidly being adopted in broadband services so that wire and wireless communication will begin to converge from this year on. Broadband service has numerous applications that can create new revenue streams besides being a simple access tool." Also, he predicted that the Korean high-speed Internet service will eventually become "4A" accessible by anyone, anywhere and anytime through any device within a few years.

Different exhibition booths will showcase a series of zones or locales in a hypothetical Ubiquitous Society, including a home, a street and a university campus, each supported and connected to the other by KT's system, plus its solutions and devices.
