AB - The purpose of this study is to redefine the concept and scope of universal service and to develop universal
service policy of South Korea for Korean reunification. The basic assumption of this study is that well developed
universal service may contribute to the eventual reunification by ensuring equal access to information resources
for the two peoples. The theoretical foundation of this study includes social capital and diffusion of innovations
theory. This study uses policy analysis as both data collection and data analysis, more specifically qualitative
policy analysis with triangulation for improving credibility. Data for the analysis were collected through legislation,
other policy documents, and major agreements between North and South Korea related to informatization and
unification. This study, identified the major characteristics of universal service and explored the current universal
service in South Korea by analyzing major policy instruments of South Korea. In addition, this study presented a
great possibility of cooperating in telecommunication policy and telecommunication infrastructure. Consequently,
this study proposed policy recommendations in five areas: 1) redefining the scope of universal service, 2)
developing a unified telecommunication infrastructure, 3) developing policy instruments, 4) restructuring
government organizations, and 5) creating a participatory universal service model for Korean reunification.
