AB - Since the late 1990s, the digital divide has received increasing attention from government. Real disparities exist in access to and use of ICT between countries and between groups within countries. The G8 countries have taken an interest and created the Digital Opportunity Task(DOT) Force to study the digital divide and recommend an action plan. Korean government also thinks that the gap between those who have access to ICT and those who do not have must not widen, and provides various supports for bridging the digital divide. In this study, we do begin by reviewing some of the basic facts about Internet access and use in Korea. We look at the digital divide that is usually measured in terms of the number of Internet users, and examine it between groups of people that is usually measured in terms of gender, age, location and income. More importantly, we consider government support bridging the digital divide, and examine how equitably Korean government is providing Internet access to narrow the digital divide.
