Within Asian region, South Korea represents the developed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003egroup, China and Vietnam characterize the developing group. China and Vietnam have\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esimilar political structure but the first is much bigger than the latter. Therefore, ICT\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eimplementation is different between these 2 countries. This paper is organized as follow, first,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eshort overviews of ICT development as well as the advantages of ICT. Second, 3 countries\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(South Korea, China and Vietnam) are described in details in both national characteristics and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eICT performance. In this section, the ICT industry and development of each country are\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eanalyzed in terms of what they have done to adopt ICT as well as how much progress has\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebeen made. In section 4, the information about popular ICT ranking indices are given. The\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e10\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethree chosen indices are Networked Readiness Index, Digital Economy Ranking and ICT\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDevelopment Index. The empirical research of cluster building for 12 selected countries is\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epresented in Section 5. In the final section, the guidelines for better ICT adoption are\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epresented. In particularly, Vietnam and China are discussed in more details and their political\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003erecommendation is drawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe data used in this paper are mostly from World Bank, Information Technology Union. The\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eindicators and indexes provided are for 2010 or 2011.
