>associated rising costs of operating in Korea
are they trying to make me believe Korea, place of one of the fastest internet on the planet has especially expensive transit cost for 10Mbit streams? compared to US? :) Or maybe its because its common to have symmetrical 1Gbit at home there and we had to come up with some kind of excuse?

I also came up with IPv6 adoption rate because it helps P2P connectivity, but it seems that Korea's adoption rate isn't good. https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-country-ipv6-adoption https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html#tab=per-...
