KISDI-KSJCS International Conference

The Future of Digital Television :
Market, Audience, and Policy


■  Invitation

With the launch of digital terrestrial television service during the last month, we enter the new era of digital broadcasting. Digital broadcasting promises the viewers high quality audio/video and interactive services, with which television is expected to be transformed from a simple entertainment medium to a sophisticated multimedia home platform.

To celebrate the launch of digital broadcasting, KISDI and KSJCS have jointly organized the international conference, "the Future of Digital Television." Distinguished speakers from the United States, the United Kingdom and Korea are invited to share the experiences of foreign countries and to discuss the key policy and industry issues in the brave new era.
