2. Research Collaboration Case
Government funding for international research collaborations using advanced networks such as APII, TEIN, etc. since 2001
Policy dilemma:
physical network(s) provided free of charge
Funding for research activities too?
In case of the year 2003, KISDI received 17 applications and finally selected 6 projects for TEIN

10. Perspectives from Outside
Regarding intra-Asia connectivity, the linkage will also be set at 45 Mbps, and will establish direct linkages between Korea, on the one hand, and Japan, China and an ASEM partner from South-East Asia respectively, on the other. An ASEM partner from South-East will serve as a hub for the ASEAN members of ASEM. The EC has indicated its readiness to consider funding the linkages involving the developing ASEM partners. Other costs of intra-Asian ASEM connectivity could be borne by Asian ASEM partners
