No pun intended with 'high broadband penetration' and 'porno-movies'... I guess population density has a lot to do with it. The monthly costs are cheap - what bandwidth are you talking about for $10/month and is it subsidised in any way?

The two MAIN reasons for this type of high broadband penetration in Korea are - a) Low subscription fee, less than $10/month for residential access b) Porno-movies ADSL provides most of the coverage, followed by Cable Modems. WISP is almost non-existent due to success of the other two technologies.

Between 60 and 70 percent of all households in South Korea have a broadband connection, and cybercafes where students play online games are 'almost on every corner,' said Taylor Reynolds, one of the authors of a report by the International Telecommunication Union. 'Broadband is just an essential part of everyday life. They use it for e-mail, they use it for chat, for music, all sorts of things,' Reynolds said." - Source ----------ANNOUNCEMENT---------- Don't forget to register for WISPCON IV http://www.wispcon.info/us/wispcon-iv/wispcon-iv.htm The PART-15.ORG smartBridges Discussion List To Join: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type subscribe smartBridges <yournickname> To Remove: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (in the body type unsubscribe smartBridges) Archives: http://archives.part-15.org
