| Abstract | This paper examines the potential impact of the Internet on the political process in a young democracy. Roh Moo-hyun's dramatic victory on December 19, 2002 represents a major watershed in modern day South Korean politics. The Internet enabled this upset victory. The Internet made available alternative sources of political information unfiltered by the conservative and often biased mass media. Citizens distributed worldwide could express their support for Roh Moo-hyun in the public forums on his official site and many other news and discussion sites. Rohsamo, a group of people who support Roh Moo-hyun, became the focal organizing structure around which the efforts of individual supporters were coordinated. In this paper, we draw on primary and secondary data sources and relate broadband penetration to political participation. We suggest that Roh's election would not have been possible had it not been for the nationwide broadband infrastructure and low costs for household high-speed Internet access. South Korea's broadband penetration rate is four times higher than the United States, 60 times higher than the United Kingdom and twice that of Canada. As the world's leader in broadband penetration and Internet usage, the South Korean case illustrates the potential impact of widespread Internet access on the democratization process in developing countries. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
