7. Voice Roaming and Data Communication

7.1 Voice Roaming International roaming enables mobile phone subscribers to use their mobile phone while travelling overseas. In order for the roaming to take place, the mobile network in the travelling destination should match with the network originally used by the subscribers. Currently, there are two main competing network technologies: Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). Roaming between the same platforms, such as CDMA to CDMA or GSM to GSM, is possible. However, in general, GSM users cannot roam onto the CDMA network which is the standard mobile technology adopted in Korea. (See below for detailed mobile platforms and their frequencies used in Korea.)

<Technical specifications of mobile services used in Korea>

*Both the Evolution Data Only (EVDO) and Wideband CDMA (WCDMA) are part of the family of CDMA technologies. 7.1.1 GSM users GSM phones cannot be used in Korea because GSM is not one of the standard mobile platforms used in Korea. This means that an international roaming is not an option for GSM users. Although GSM phones cannot be used in Korea, GSM subscribers can still receive inbound calls in Korea by subscribing to a service called “call forwarding” described down below.

7.1.2 CDMA/WCDMA users CDMA/WCDMA users can use their mobile phone in Korea. To do so, they need to subscribe to international roaming service. If users wish to use the roaming service, they are advised to contact their service provider and check

- whether their mobile phone supports 800 MHz, 1.8 GHz or 2.1 GHz; and - whether their mobile carrier has a roaming agreement with its Korean counterpart.

Both conditions must be satisfied to use their CDMA/WCDMA phones in Korea. If the CDMA/WCDMA phone does not support the abovementioned frequencies and/or if there is no roaming agreement in place, the phone cannot be used in Korea. However, CDMA/WCDMA subscribers can still receive inbound calls in Korea by subscribing to a service called “call forwarding” described below.

7.1.3 Call forwarding service

“Call forwarding” is a service that allows users to forward incoming calls to a pre-designated number when unable to answer or unavailable, avoiding loss of important calls.

Service Provider CDMA/EVDO* WCDMA*

SK Telecom 800 MHz 2.1 GHz

KTF 1.8 GHz 2.1 GHz

LG Telecom 1.8 GHz N/A

８

Ministers, Ministers-level and Speakers The call forwarding service will be accommodated by the Preparation Office only for Ministers, Ministers-level and speakers (participating in both the Ministerial meeting and/or Stakeholder Forums) who use GSM or CDMA/WCDMA phones that cannot roam in Korea. Ministers, Ministers-level or speakers who wish to use the call forwarding service are requested to notify the Preparation Office in advance. Then, they will be provided with a telephone number that is a pre-designated number to receive forwarded incoming calls. After, they also need to contact their service provider, and subscribe to the call forwarding service. The pre-designated number should be provided to their carrier. The mobile phone that is assigned with the pre-designated number will be provided by the Preparation Office. The phone will be provided to each Minister, Minister-level and speaker at the airport.

General Participants

General participants who wish to subscribe to the call forwarding service are advised

to contact their service operator as well as to check out the services provided by the

Korean mobile carrier at www.sktroaming.com (SK Telecom). The designated phone

number for the rental phone will be assigned 3 days prior to the actual rental date.

7.2 Data Communication

The venue of the Ministerial meeting (COEX) will be provided with wireless Internet free of charge. This allows mobile multimedia devices such as BlackBerry and PDA with Internet connectivity to be used for data transmission, including e-mails. The procedures described in 7.1.1 or 7.1.2 apply to the use of voice functions of the multimedia devices.

8. Security Access control may be carried out by the organiser and local police. The Meeting venue will be patrolled and regular security checks will be carried out. Participants accompanied by bodyguards should note that NO weapons will be allowed into the Meeting venue as all weapons are restricted at the point of entry into Korea.

9. Information for Participants 9.1 Ministerial Website (www.oecdministerialseoul2008.org and www.oecd.org/FutureInternet) The following information will be posted on the Ministerial website:

- List of speakers; - Designated hotels and discounted room rates; - Tour information; - About Korea including climate, places to visit, etc.

9.2 Participants’ Kit Participants’ Kit contains a carrying case, programme, speeches, Participants’ Handbook, venue map and other information. A “Kit Desk” will be set-up at the lobby of the Grand Ballroom to manage document distribution.

2. Organisation of the sessions

Each session will be ordered as follows:

At the beginning of each session, the chairman will introduce the moderator and invite

them to open the discussion with a few remarks on the main themes of the session (5

minutes).

Each panelist will then be invited to present a short opening statement, respond to

questions (agreed in advance) from the moderator. Due to the high number of participants,

speakers’ initial statements will be limited to 5 minutes, with a couple more minutes to

reply to a follow-up question, and a few minutes for the final discussion and questions.

At the end of the session, the Chair will summarise the main points of the session.

The OECD Secretariat, in cooperation with speakers, will assist in the session organization,

facilitating the coordination between the chair, the moderator and the participants of each

session.

3. Preparation of papers

To prepare the session, panelists are invited to send an outline of their main discussion topics

by 15 May to the OECD secretariat assisting in the organisation of their session. This would

Please note that during the Ministerial meeting, speakers will be invited to contribute a short

YouTube video. More information will be provided in the near future.

IX. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR CIVIL SOCIETY PARTICIPANTS In order to facilitate the participation of civil society groups in the Stakeholder Forums and in the Ministerial itself, the Korean government kindly offered a total of KRW 135 million (about 92,000 EUR) to fund travel and accommodation for foreign-based civil society speakers and attendees.

Beneficiaries will be selected by the OECD Secretariat on the basis of the following criteria:

Expertise/Representation: Organisations and individuals should have recognised expertise on one or more of the subject matters to be covered during the Ministerial.

Transparency: An organisational participant should be transparent with respect to its membership, sources of funding, and mission.

Geographical, gender and subject balance: In the event that demand exceeds the available funding for civil society participants, attention will be given to guaranteeing geographical and gender balance, as well as balance in terms of subject areas. In addition, participation in the civil society preparatory process would be viewed favourably.

Please note that Forum speakers will receive full funding for travel and accommodation costs, while attendees will receive partial reimbursement (EUR 1,000 max.) to contribute to airfare (roundtrip, economy) and accommodation (up to 4 nights) costs, so as to maximize the number of beneficiaries.

Forum Speakers

The Korean Preparation Office will be in touch with (beneficiary) speakers to book electronic tickets (roundtrip, economy) and make hotel reservations. Attendees/participants

To be reimbursed, attendees whose funding request has been accepted should go to the Reception Desk at the Forum venue (COEX) upon their arrival, and present their passport, flight ticket receipt and hotel receipts. Reimbursement will be provided in the form of a chèque. Deadlines

Requests for funding should be submitted online by 20 APRIL 2008. Incomplete applications will not be considered. Notification to beneficiaries: 2 MAY 2008

Prospective participants need to apply for financial support on the Ministerial website at www.oecdministerialseoul2008.org by 20 April 2008.
