President of Blue Coat Korea
I first want to offer words of congratulation to the Korea IT Times on the occasion of its third anniversary. I wish the Korea IT Times which is still making efforts day and night will prosper. Today, the IT industry has developed into one of the industries representing the nation and has expanded its stage into the world beyond South Korea. The nation's IT industry could honorably compete with other global IT powerhouses like this thanks to the labor of people working in the industry. I especially appreciate efforts of the Korea IT Times, the nation's first and only English language IT journal, for making a contribution to promote Korea's advanced IT industry to the world overcoming the language barrier. The Korea IT Times has played a central role in the development of the IT industry by providing in-depth and systematic news to readers and by suggesting tasks of the domestic IT industry and directions of its development. The Blue Coat men will support the Korea IT Times to make further development by making use of its differentiated advantages based on the accumulated know-how of the past three years. Thank you very much.

There is a proverb saying "A habit formed at age three lasts until eighty." The Korea IT Times has succeeded in laying a solid foundation during the past three years. Therefore, we can say that its sustainable growth will continue for the following eighty years.

Congratulations, Korea IT Times, on your third anniversary! Thanks to the passion and dedication of every Korea IT Times employee who has contributed to the Korean IT industry, it has made it this far. You have tirelessly worked to make a positive contribution through your excellence in writing, conveying to the world the strength of Korea's growing IT industry, through the use of English, the common language of all nations. Our IT industry is heading towards a truly global level, and for this we have the Korea IT Times to thank. The year 2007 marks forty years since the first computer was introduced in Korea in 1967. This was a pivotal point, as it opened up Korea to the possibilities of a thriving IT industry. Due to Korea's unprecedented technological leap and economic boom, it is short from becoming a developed nation. Today, Korean manufactured semiconductors, display monitors, cell phones, and other cutting-edge technologies within the industry are making their presence felt in the world market. As a result, IT corporations from all over the world are showing more interest than even in Korea's IT industry. Korea now possesses and continues to develop the world's leading high-speed Internet network infrastructure, such as Internet portals and electronic commercial transactions. We are the first country to commercialize CDMA mobile communication networks and have introduced a competitive edge to the cell phone mobile contents worldwide market. Korea's IT industry is making its mark and demonstrating its brand power. This is something not only I, but the entire nation feels deeply proud of. As the world comes to further recognize our country's potential and momentum, Korean products will become synonymous with quality and cutting-edge technology . highly respected and valued in the world market. I send the Korea IT Times my sincerest congratulations on its third successful year. Your passion, determination, and efforts are invaluable to the globalization of Korea's IT industry.

Lee Hee-sung
President of Intel Korea
I congratulate all the staff at the Korea IT Times on its third anniversary of providing insightful and proper analysis of the current state and development of the IT industry in Korea. Today, Korea is moving toward an information society that is based on the intangible digital wealth of knowledge and information. In order to obtain visible fruits from the industry at this point in time, it is necessary, before everything else, to grasp a thorough knowledge of the wealth and apply it to a range of other industry fields. I believe that the gem-like articles in each and every issue of the Korea IT Times are fully serving the role of a compass guiding its readers and opinion leaders to a proper course. Above all, the anniversary special giving an assessment of the ten growth engines of Korea and finding new ones for the future of the IT industry was an outstanding article. It introduced the core technologies that we must secure in the process of making Korea an IT powerhouse of the world. As a person immersed in the IT business, I wish to convey once again my sincere congratulations on the third anniversary of the Korea IT Times and hope it become the IT media leading Korea's IT industry.

I want to offer my sincere words of congratulation on the occasion of the third anniversary of the Korea IT Times. The Korea IT Times which has led in the age of new media has made a contribution to imprinting South Korea as a stage to test the world's best IT products in the hearts of the world's citizens by clearly suggesting the realities of Korea's IT industry just like a compass which is needed to make a voyage on the boundless expanse of water. In addition, the journal has suggested a new paradigm of online media with news stories centered on depth rather than width and has grown into one of the IT media outlets which the worldwide prominent media read in a short three-year period. I anticipate that the Korea IT Times will enhance the status of the IT power house one step higher by continuously functioning as the readers' eyes, ears and mouth in this convergence era in which broadcasting, communications, Internet and newspapers are combined. I am grateful for the labor of people who have made efforts for development of the nation's IT industry and I pray the Korea IT Times will prosper eternally.

Kim Shin-bae
CEO of SK Telecom
In this informatization era, to improve the people's informatization-oriented mind is the most important thing in enhancing the national competitiveness. In order to overcome the current economic difficulties, in particular, it is urgently necessary to secure the competitive edge through popularization of information. The nation's IT industry should advance into the world on the domestically successful convergence basis to explore its future. The industry should be equipped with new competitive power to challenge the global markets by correctly grasping the consumers' needs and cooperating rather than engaging in exhausting domestic competition. I am very happy to see the Korea IT Times which was founded to meet such changes of the times making a contribution for improvement of the public's informatization by providing specialized IT-related news stories and data. People's eyes to see the national economy with honest viewpoints are more desperately needed than ever for South Korea to wisely overcome the current sluggish economy and to make new advancement. In this critical moment when the nation is making efforts to become a leading player in the Asia-Pacific age of the 21st century, I expect the Korea IT Times to suggest our future direction by allowing us to maintain sharp insight about the informatization society with broad and fresh information. I sincerely congratulate the Korea IT Times on its third anniversary.
Yu Won-sik
President of Sun Microsystems Korea
We sincerely celebrate the third anniversary of the Korea IT Times, the only English journal specializing in IT, which has been founded for the purpose of providing comprehensive IT information and news in order to keep up with the developments of the information intensive society in this global era. Over the past three years, the Korea IT Times has provided useful information on Korean IT industry to the world, setting the pace for domestic IT industry. As an English-only journal specializing in the IT industry, it has shared useful and reliable news and information with numerous readers at home and abroad. Now more than ever before, the IT industry is undergoing sweeping changes. Therefore, a reliable IT-specialized journal is badly needed to keep abreast with the developments of the international IT industry. In Korea, the IT industry has now become the core part of national competitiveness, and so the IT industry is expected to play the role of growth engine for revitalization of the Korean economy, which is now meeting with economic difficulties. At this point in time, we are in need of a paradigm change instead of simple external expansion. Also, we need insight and intuition to perceive the forthcoming changes. Until now, the Korea IT Times has satisfied its readers with reliable news and useful information, and so we hope the Korea IT Times will continue to make a leap toward a leading English journal specializing in the IT industry, thus providing us with in-depth analyses and new visions for the future. Sun Microsystems Korea, as a business partner of the Korean information and communication industry, makes a promise to contribute to the development of Korean IT industry. Celebrating your third anniversary once again, we give thanks to you.
