The 11th KISDI International Conference

Governing Regulatory Reform and Privatization  
of the Telecommunication Industry


■  Invitation

As the President of Korea Information Society Development Institute (KISDI), I am delighted to invite you to the 11th KISDI International Conference, “ Governing the Regulatory Reforms and Privatization of the Telecommunications Industry.”

KISDI, a leading think-tank in telecommunication policy, sees that the convergence and the rapid changes in the telecommunications sector make established institutions and instruments no longer effective. The need for reforms in the existing telecommunication laws and regulations has become urgent. Above all, regulators have to ensure the revolution in technology to benefit all people. Yet, the challenges are many and myriad.

“Governing the Regulatory Reforms and Privatization of the Telecommunications Industry” is one of the many attempts for KISDI to discuss globally applicable principles. KISDI invites distinguished speakers and discussant from Australia, France, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States to share the experiences of developed countries and to provide a model of successful policy concerning liberalization, privatization, and deregulation.

Scheduled in session I is the deregulation experience of Australia and the US, focusing on the network strategy and the role of policy in the information age. In session II, by analyzing British Telecom, French Telecom, and Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Corporation (NTT), we will formulate measures to maximize the benefit of Korea Telecom through privatization.

We sincerely hope that this conference will provide a valuable opportunity for all the participants to share their experiences and ideas.

o Date: December 1, 2000 13:30 -18:00
o Venue: Press Center, Seoul, Korea
o Host: Korea Information Society Development Institute (KISDI)
o Organizing Institution: Ministry of Information and Communication, Republic of Korea
