무선인터넷의 열풍이 21세기 들어 전세계 IT 시장을 뜨겁게 달구고 있다. '정보'와 '이동성'이 결합된 무선인터넷은 '유선에서 무선으로', '음성에서 데이터로' 급변하는 정보통신시장의 정점에 서서, 중국, 러시아와 서남아시아를 거쳐 유럽과 아프리카까지 연결하는 Korea발 $\ulcorner$CDMA 실크로드$\lrcorner$ 건설의 최첨병으로 성장하고 있다. 세계최초의 CDMA 상용국가 Korea가 세계최초 CDMA 2000 1X와 CDMA EVDO 등으로 그려낼 무선인터넷의 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스와 M-Commerce의 무한한 가능성이야말로 21세기의 $\ulcorner$Mobile Korea.를 이끌어 줄 미래를 위한 선택이다. 이를 위해 정보통신부는 2000.6월부터 무선인터넷 활성화 정책을 수립하여 이를 적극 추진 중에 있으며, 이에 따라 국내의 무선인터넷 시장도 1조원을 돌파하는 등 본격적인 활성화를 목전에 두고 있다.

In this article, we examined the patterns of activities of the Sarmathians though in a humble measure, with a focus on the regions where the Sarmathian sheaths spreaded. One of the main weapons the mounted nomads like the Scythias, the Sarmathians, and the Alans used at war was a spear. Though complementary, a sword was the most convenient and appropriate weapon when fighting at a near distance, fallen from the horse to the ground. The Sarmathian swords continued the tradition of the Akinakes which the Scythias or the Persians used, but those of the Sarmathians showed some advances in terms of the easiness with which a sword was drawn out from a sheath, and the way the sheaths were worn to parts of a human body. It turns out that the Sarmathian sheaths, which were designed for the people to draw swords easily, having the sheaths attached to thighs through 4 bumps, spread extensively from Pazyryk, Altai, to South Siberia, Bactria, Parthia and Rome. The most noteworthy out of all the Sarmathian sheaths were the ones that were excavated from the 4th tomb in Tillatepe, Afghanistan which belonged to the region of Bactria. The owner of the fourth tomb of Tilla-tepe whose region was under the control of Kushan Dynasty at that time, was buried wearing Sarmathian swords, and regarded as a big shot in the region of Bactria which was also under the governance of Kushan Dynasty. The fact that the owner of the tomb wore two swords suggests that there had been active exchange between Bactria and Sarmathia. It seemed that the reason why the Sarmathians could play an important role in the exchange between the East and the West might have something to do with their role of supplying Chinese goods to Silk Road. That's why we are interested in how the copper mirrors of Han Dynasty, decoration beads like melon-type beads, crystal beads and goldring articulated beads, and the artifacts of South China which produced silks were excavated in the northern steppe route where the Sarmathians actively worked. Our study have established that the eye beads discovered in Sarmathian tomb estimated to have been built around the 1st century B.C. were reprocessed in China, and then imported to Sarmathia again. We should note the Huns as a medium between the Sarmathians and the South China which were far apart from each other. Thus gold-ring articulated beads which were spread out mainly across the South China has been discovered in the Huns' remains. On the other hand, between 2nd century B.C. and 2nd century A.D. which were main periods of the Sarmathians, it was considered that the traffic route connecting the steppe route and the South China might be West-South silk road which started from Yunnan, passed through Myanmar, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, and then went into the east of India. The West-south Silk road is presumed to have been used by nomadic tribes who wanted to get the goods from South China before the Oasis route was activated by the Han Dynasty's policy of managing the countries bordering on Western China.
