This document outlines Korea's achievements and strategy in information and communication technology (ICT) development from the 1980s to present: 1. Korea successfully localized the TDX electronic telephone switching system in the 1980s, laying the foundation for ICT infrastructure development. 2. Korea achieved several "world's firsts" including the world's first 64M DRAM working die, commercial CDMA network, and high-speed internet service, becoming a global leader in memory chips and internet infrastructure. 3. Korea's ICT strategy called IT839 aimed to develop 8 services, 3 infrastructures, and 9 products between 2008-2012 including 4G LTE, green IT, and smart technologies to drive convergence across industries
