Korean government have invested hugely in the informatization in public sector. Since the investment on the hardware-aspect of informatization seems enough, people are now shifting their interests to the software-aspect of it. It cannot be over-emphasized that simple adoption of IT does not make any significant change in the organizations. Information technology needs to interact with organizational characteristics so that it takes an effect on the performance and productivity of the organization. Therefore the understanding of the dynamics would be quite critical to upgrade the informatization level of public sector in Korea. This paper reviews and analyzes the empirical literature on the interaction between information technology and organizational characteristics. Although there have been many studies on this subject, there has been little effort to review and digest the empirical findings which have been accumulated so far. This paper reviews 29 articles which had been published in major academic journals from 1990 to 2004.

The Internet is a worldwide network connecting to others and connected to by others in order to exchange information and data. The initial zero settlement peering arrangement, however, has now been replaced by commercial transit arrangement, as backbone providers have begun to seek to recoup their network infrastructure investments and generate commercial profits. This is a key reason emerged issues and debates on international internet interconnection service (IIS) between developed and developing countries. This study is generally concerned with the current interconnection settlement arrangement which disfavors ISPs and end-users in the Asia-Pacific region. The main issues raised in recent years in relation to IIS between Asia-Pacific and Western region are summarized into 3 categories; inequity, anti-competitive concerns and a prognosis of balkanization of the Internet. And then in order to resolve those issues and improve the IIS market in Asia-Pacific region, we discuss practical recommendations at two points, i.e., regional and international perspective.
