• ASEM Leaders
• - recognized the importance of cooperation in IT
• - agreed to narrow the digital divide to promote
  the joint prosperity of two regions
• - emphasized the need to establish and expand
  information and research networks
• TEIN.EGM-1 (Mar. 2001)

BRIEF HISTORY(EGM-2 ASEM-4)

• TEIN EGM-2 (Mar. 2002)
• - For Europe-Asia ASEM linkage, KR-FR linkage
  will be
• continued upgraded to 45Mbps
• - Intra-Asia connectivity will also be set at
  45Mbps, and
• direct linkages will be established between
  KR and JP, CN
• and an ASEM partner from SEA.
• - An ASEM partner from SEA will serve as a
  hub for the
• ASEAN members of ASEM
• EC, FR, MY, KR, DANTE etc. (Sep. 2002)
• MY expressed its willingness to be a SEA hub
  
• ASEM-IV Summit (Sep. 2002)
• ASEM leaders decided that EGM on Expansion of
  TEIN to Malaysia as SEA hub will be held in Kuala
  Lumpur, in the first half of 2003

BRIEF HISTORY(Recent Improvements)

• KR-JP APII Testbed (NEA)
• - issues of upgrading the capacity and
  cooperation of research other applications are
  being discussed
• - to be upgraded to 1Gbps from 8Mbps
• TEIN Expansion Links (SEA)
• - MY confirmed its willingness to be a SEA
  hub and SOMs between KR-MY have been followed
• - KR introduced TEIN project TEIN Expansion
  Links to SEA to ASEAN region at EAWG 13

SPIRIT OF TEIN

• Objectives of TEIN are to
• - contribute to enhancing exchanges and
  cooperation between Asia Europe through
  increased more effective information flows
• - enhance diversify research exchanges and
  cooperation between Asia Europe
• - expand and diversify speedier more
  powerful connections between Asia Europe

SEA-Net Link to North Asia

• SEA-Net will be able to connect to North Asia
  through the KR-MY link Link Owners of the KR-MY
  link will be MIC/KISDI (Korea) and MECM/Malaysian
  Research Net (Malaysia)
