Korea's Communication History

While doing research for a story, I just accidentally ran across KT's history of communications in Korea, as part of the company's Korea Telecom Museum. And I must say, it is one of the most fascinating websites I have run across in ages. It begins with some general stuff about early communication systems in Korea (like Fire Beacons, runners and antennae to the gods), then moves on to things like Korea's first radio, Korea's first TV station, and first coin-operated phones. Hours of good stuff there.
