Perspectives from Outside Regarding intra-Asia connectivity, the linkage will also be set at 45 Mbps, and will establish direct linkages between Korea, on the one hand, and Japan, China and an ASEM partner from South-East Asia respectively, on the other. An ASEM partner from South-East will serve as a hub for the ASEAN members of ASEM. The EC has indicated its readiness to consider funding the linkages involving the developing ASEM partners. Other costs of intra-Asian ASEM connectivity could be borne by Asian ASEM partners TEIN EGM2 in March 2002 in Brussels, Belgium TEIN Meeting among KR, MY and EC in May 2003 in KL, MY
