In view of the global development of digital convergence and restructuring of regulatory authorities in various jurisdictions, as well as the integration of the authorities regulating the telecommunications and broadcasting sectors, the government held its 8th Strategy Research Board(SRB) meeting in 1998 and proposed the establishment of one regulatory body to oversee telecommunications, information and broadcasting sectors within an integrated framework.

The enactment of the Fundamental Communications Basic Act on January 7, 2004 and the National Communications Commission Organization Act on November 9, 2005, enabled the establishment of the National Communications Commission (NCC) on February 22, 2006, thereby creating a governmental body for the regulation of the telecommunications, information and broadcasting sectors.
