ETRI Calls for MIC's Functions to Be Enlarged
In the "Information and Communication Policy Discussion Meeting," which was held at Lotte Hotel, Seoul on June 29, Yim Chu-Hwan, president of ETRI, said, "Korea has succeeded in reaching an industrial society in such a short period during the past history. However, during this period, the Economic Planning Board has played a critical role in the early industrialization of Korea through its coordination role of economic policies. Now, our society is transforming from an industrial society to a knowledge information society centering on IT.
