Several days ago, I have posted how EA is exploiting Korean Online Game’s competitiveness by partnering with major Korean Game Developers. One good example is EA’s collaboration with NeoWiz on its flagship product FIFA.

Today EA has released interesting news regarding on this Move. EA Korea has acquired another Korean Game Developer called J2M(www.j2m.co.kr) which has produced popular game products such as RayCity (Driving Game) and Debut (Online Dancing Game). J2M, founded in 2004, is regarded by industry experts as one of the companies which have both game developing capability and service delivery Knowhow. EA, which has been motivated by the success of its first collaboration effort in FIFA Online, is actively continuing to monitor Korean market for the quest of discovering the next growth platform.

The First Edition of our News Letter is published!

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

Sometime ago I wrote on this Blog that we will create a News Letter. Finally it has been published today. It was much harder and took longer than I orginally expected. However during the making of this edition I heard from many friends, especially Non Koreans, about their needs on Information about the Korean Telecom, Media, and Technology sector.

I tried hard to suit their needs but as their needs were very diverse I could not cover all the requests. But during this process I have also learned what the really sought after news on Korean TMT sector are, so I will keep it in mind for the upcoming editions.

Do read this News Letter and I hope you all can get at least some ‘points’ from it. I also recommend you to spread this News Letter to your friends/collegues/clients as it will be a good source for their business. Also keep in touch with me if you have any additional ideas or requests.

We have created a Menu called ‘News Letter’ on top of our blog so you can subscribe/unsubscribe/recommend our News Letter.

Thanks again for your generous patience.

You can also see our News Letter online.

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

This is a special report by BBC. It shows the highlights of the well developed Korean information technology, and how it can contribute to the society.

The video clip shows what an important role IT can have in your everyday life. Through widespread areas such as WiBro, future home, virtual world, online games, and even the news, it shows what an effect this technology has in the Korean society and how many possibilities and opportunities it brings with it.

This clip was aired almost 2 years ago to the day, but still describes how advanced the Korean TMT sector really is, and I think it will be interesting for you to watch. So please enjoy.
