得益于通信基础设施的建设和完善，宽带业务和移动业务的用户激增，本世纪初韩国电信市场得到突飞猛进的发展。然而，由于通信业务普及到一定程度，韩国电信市场也接近饱和，市场增长主要依赖创新业务。截至2008年末，韩国宽带业务用户数量达到1548万户，固定电话用户为2213万户，而手机用户为4563万户。

　　虽然传统电信服务市场接近饱和，进入壁垒相对较高，但电信相关的内容供应及差异性服务相对上仍有些不足，且韩国相关法规对该部分的外资投资并没有股权上的限制。因此，后来者在进入市场的时候，可以加强这方面的产品和服务。

　　此外，韩国电信市场监管相对宽松，但由于科技进步，市场采用新技术新标准较快，政策风险仍比较突出。为尽可能地规避监管与政策风险，新进入者应对韩国的产业政策和监管体系进行跟踪研究，积极与韩国政府主管部门和主要电信运营商建立和保持密切的关系。

In virtue of communications infrastructure construction and improvement, the number of subscribers for broadband and mobile services surged. South Korea’s telecom market has boosted up since the beginning of the 21st century. Yet, the market is almost saturated when communication business has been popularized to a certain degree, and market growth stems primarily from business innovation.

Although the traditional telecommunications services market is now close to saturation, plus the higher entry barrier, there is still insufficiency of telecom-related content supply and differentiated service, and no restriction is exerted on the access of foreign capital in this regard in South Korea telecom market.
 
In addition, South Korean telecom market is faced with relatively loose supervision, but the market will employ new technologies and standards rapidly due to technological advancement. The new entrants should trail and research South Korea’s industry policies and monitoring systems, and actively establish and maintain a close relationship with governmental departments and major telecom operators in order to avoid regulatory and policy risks.
