Japan-Korea Joint ResearchAn agreement on the APII test-bed project was made in a managers-level talk between the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of Japan and the Department of Info-Communication of Korea in September 1997.
The points of agreement were as follows:
| Duration of Project: | Until March 2000 |
| Line Speed: | 2 Mbps and to be expanded |
| Applications | 12 proposals approved |
Communication Research Laboratory is now preparing for the experiments, starting in 1998.
