For the last
15 years, with our passion and challenge, Netpia has been concentrating
on the development of technologies related to the Korean Internet
Address and the Korean E-mail Address as well as the user-friendly
environment for Koreans who are using Korean as their native language.
Through this development, we are minimizing the digital gap, activating
oNLIAe participation, and contributing in advancement of e-Government.
Moreover, we are putting our best efforts in development and provision
of the Native Language Internet Address in 95 countries to narrow
down the digital gap worldwide. |

Successful Establishment of the Korean Language Internet Address |
Since the beginning
of the 21st Century we started providing the commercial service
while competing with Real Names in a "David vs. Goliath"
fight in the Korean market. In the midst of this competition, Netpia
has converted this crisis as its opportunity to expand infrastructure
and to increase the number of users significantly. As a result,
Netpia was able to unite the market of the Korean Internet Address
following the bankruptcy of its competitor, Real Names, in July
of 2002. With the commercial service of the Korean E-mail Address
beginning in July of 2003, we are putting our best efforts for the
completion of the Korean Internet Address service.
Currently, Netpia is concentrating on the expansion of Korean Internet
Name infrastructure by partnering with about 50 well-known ISPs
nationwide, and has set the Korean Internet Address as de facto
standard with 50,000 paid-registrations. Furthermore, we are doing
our best to narrow down the digital divide in the country and to
embody e-Government by bringing out 100% Korean Internet Address
registrations of 250 local governments as well as the public prosecutors
offices nationwide. |

Efforts for the Standardization of the Native Language Internet Address
|
Through the engineering
testing in 95 countries, we are working to export the standard model
of the Native Language Internet Address (NLIA)
to Taiwan, Greece, Thailand, Japan, China, Afghanistan, Bulgaria
and Bangladesh as well as other Asian and European countries, where
English is not the native language.
Since 1999, we have initiated the NLIA services in the international
conferences, where Internet Address resources are administered,
such as APAN, WIPO,
ICANN and IETF.
In August 2003, Netpia provided NLIA for 95 different countries
at the Summer Universiad Daegu 2003 for the first time in the world.
Also in December, our success story was in the spotlight at the
World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)
hosted by the United Nations.
With the accomplishment of creating the Korean Internet Address, Netpia
will work to narrow down the digital gap among different countries
and to lay the groundwork for the prosperity by globalizing the
Native Language Internet Address.
