The Korea Times has a feature on Yoon Jay-joon (Jay Yoon), CEO of Sundosoft, a large GIS player in the country. One of the graphics is of a box of ArcGIS 9. I guess 10 is not yet out there.

Mackenzie District Council in New Zealand is fight against bad GIS data.
"During the last revaluation, it was discovered the information we sent to our valuers was incorrect. This was due to multiple users creating different copies of the data, manipulating the information and treating it as correct," Mr Morris said.
"If council chose to do nothing, the GIS information will get progressively worse.
But the local government does not want to put a dedicated outside person in charge of cleaning up the data. Instead, it's looking into a shared position.

The Doolin Coast Guard team in Co Clare Ireland will be the only such unit in the country with a GIS. It'll be run on tablets to increase efficiency in response and planning.
The system also contains up to date information on the locations of caves, popular surfing spots and other areas where the team might be requested to respond to an incident.
It will also aid in incident planning as it contains information such as radio reception blackspots, access routes and helicopter landing sites.

How do protect animals by keeping their habitat intact in Cambodia? Use GIS. Suwanna Gauntlett explains.
But mostly, how we stop economic land concessions that are legal is personal interaction, between me and government officials. For all the economic land concessions that have valid permits or are going to have valid permits, I personally interact with the government. I act a little bit like a lawyer. I go on the ground to document GIS [Geographic Information System] points, do GIS mapping, take aerial photographs, and then build the case as to why that economic land concession should not be implemented in that specific location. I then correspond directly with the ministerial level, the Council of Ministers, and sometimes the Prime Minister himself, and follow up with meetings and [additional] correspondence. Sometimes, if it is really necessary, I call upon an inter-ministerial steering committee, that was formed upon our request—I bring them to the site, I brief them and they then go back to central government and represent the case.
