Still room at the top

Article Abstract:

Telecommunication companies in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are scrambling to move to the top of the industry. Japan still retains its lead in the high-technology telecommunications market but South Korea and Taiwan are not far behind. Huge and long-range investments in research and infrastructure are needed to develop new products. Japan's Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp has introduced its Integrated Services Digital Network and plans to complete Japan's digitalization services by 2015. However, it is still unclear how the giant corporation will achieve this given its current financial status.

Keeping an eye out

Article Abstract:

The US government's decision to set a new standard for high-definition TV (HDTV) will be gladly welcomed by manufacturers and consumers alike. The new system which uses digital instead ofanalog signals will trigger the development of the most advanced and highly flexible TV systems. Other leading TV producers such as Japan, Europe and SouthKorea have expressed their willingness to adapt the US standard when it comes out in April 1993.
