| For the last 10 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.
