The government and the business community are working to move away from U.S.-led Internet system.
The government decided to carry out independent policies in the Asian region in the IPv6 area, the next-gen. Internet address system, which will be led by Korea, Japan and China other than the U.S. Domestic companies are also defecting from the current Internet address (domain) structure which is unilaterally administered by the U.S.-led ICANN, and begin to unveil independent alternative services. |

| A government official said yesterday, "Until now, we have been the recipient of the U.S. system. However, it is necessary for us to be independent in the next-gen. market such as IPv6." "If Korea and Japan with relative superiority in technology cooperate, there is an ample chance to move ahead of the U.S. or Europe in the competition." | |||
