(ITU) ICT ministry to promote cloud tech to ITU members
By Kang Yoon-seung
BUSAN, Oct. 26 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's ICT ministry said Sunday it will host a three-day exhibition on the future of cloud technology this week at the venue of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) meeting underway here, targeting some 3,000 ICT officials from around the world attending the conference.
Around 70 tech firms from home and abroad will participate in the exhibition that kicks off Monday, the Ministry of Science, ICT, and Future Planning said.
"The exhibition will provide visitors with opportunities to experience various cloud services and expand their understanding of cloud computing, which will eventually lead to the growth of local companies," it added.
Cloud computing allows users to share conventional computer resources, including software, information and online connections, through remote servers that save data.
On the first day of the event, the ministry will hold a special seminar on gaming content based on cloud technology, inviting speakers from the country's three mobile carriers and entertainment firms such as cable operator CJ HelloVision Co.
Conferences on the second day will include discussions on policies toward cloud computing technology by corporate and academic officials.
South Korea is currently hosting the ITU Plenipotentiary Conference, referred to as the PP-14, until Nov. 7.
The ITU is an information and communications arm of the U.N. that sets technological standards, allocates radio frequencies and satellite orbits and works to improve the quality of communications services.
